A lot of the entries showed multiple angles of the same people and subject matter. It’s not a multiple angle category, a photo story or essay means different photos that include added information in each frame, not the exact same photos from different angles.
First place takes a commonplace subject of a person you could find in any city using music to cope with aging and health issues and follows the subject in an intimate way.
Second and third both have great images of refugees in the Ukraine. The Ukraine road story had more emotion for second and the evacuation story showed more information for third. Both could use a tighter edit. The view of the tank through the curtains of the bus is a great perspective. The two different boys lying in bed, and the bus driver helping the person into the front seat are among the better images. There is a lot of use of portals including make-shift doorways, halls, and windows that make for interesting layering and composition.
