World Press Photo of the Year
From conflicts in Syria, Gaza and the Central African Republic through to shots of daily life or sporting triumph across the world, the World Press Photo of the Year exhibition provides a memorable visual snapshot of the key moments of the past 12 months.
The exhibition brings together around 140 of the competition’s winning photographs, which are drawn from 98,671 submissions.
The overall winning image is one taken by American photographer John Stanmeyer, which shows African migrants on the shore of Djibouti City at night, raising their phones in an attempt to capture an inexpensive signal from neighbouring Somalia.
Other categories include Sports, Daily Life, Nature and Staged Portraits – which featured this image of actor Chewitel Ejiofor taken by Nadav Kander.
World Press Photo of the year runs from 7-26 November at the Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre, London SE1.
