Two Australians have taken out World Press Photo Contest awards, which honour the best examples of photojournalism each year.
Both works, which took out awards in the South-East Asia and Oceania regions, speak about environmental concerns.The Age and Sydney Morning Herald photographer snapped the photo in Fiji in August.
"This project presents a series of manipulated and reconceptualised images, conveying the artist's personal feelings of frustration and horror in response to the devastating 2019-2020 wildfires in the state of New South Wales."As well as winning the regional prize, Casey and Jim's images will go into the running for the global awards, which will be announced later this month.
"While each photograph shows a single individual in the aftermath of a horrific attack, the contrast between the scenes helps viewers understand the differing scales of devastation without minimising the individual suffering.
