Taken in conflict zones, on football pitches and in an Afghan skatepark, the shortlist for this year’s Portrait of Humanity award celebrates resilience.
Capturing a full gamut of human emotions – from joy to grief, connection to isolation – its latest shortlist attempts to understand cultures, communities and people all over the world at a time of tumult.
“Over the past year, headlines have been dominated by tragedy and absurdity; streams of images – of war, protests and brutality – relentlessly flooding our screens,” said the British Journal of Photography, announcing the latest shortlist.
