Honorable Mention

Primary Colours of Senegal
DESCRIPTION
In a dusty roadside village in Senegal, a man walks past a red-clothed doorway carrying groceries wrapped in blue and yellow plastic. Behind him, daily life unfolds - stalls, stories, and quiet exchanges. I could spot this opportunity from a mile away, this photo was taken as we drove past this market at roughly 80kmh. This image is about movement and stillness, presence and place. AUTHOR
I'm Sam, a New Zealand-based, self taught photographer and filmmaker, drawn to capturing raw, human-centered stories. My work has taken me across the globe—from remote villages to urban streets—always searching for moments of truth, emotion, and connection.I love using my camera to highlight underrepresented voices and everyday resilience. Working closely with NGOs like World Vision has shaped how I see the world and deepened the purpose behind every frame I shoot. :)
