Northwest – April 2025 – Photo Story/Essay

Judges Comments

LL beautiful detail shots that really capture the humanity behind the labor ST-A great look into an anchorpoint of migrants trying to cut a foothold in this country. A good selection, but really would have been stronger if two images had been omitted; one of the portraits and the wide fence shot in favor of the close up of hands. We can’t really recommend the other submissions for placement due to them violating the rules of what defines a photo essay. All were of-the-day events planned events and therefore not photo essays, but general news and sports feature multi image stories.
