Photo of Armenian Soldier Resting in Trench Among World Press Photo Winners
Vaghinak Ghazaryan’s “Resting Soldier” photo has been awarded 3rd prize in the Contemporary Issues/Singles category of the 2021 World Press Photo Contest, Panorama reports.
The photo shows an Armenian soldier lying in a trench, resting on a plastic cover, in the northeastern part of Syunik, Nerkin Khndzoresk, Armenia on 31 October 2020.
“This photograph has haunted me from day one. There was very strong work coming out of Nagorno-Karabakh but all primarily focused on grief, loss, conflict. This one image, such a simple moment focused on a shared need, was deeply touching and beautifully photographed. It was a different look at the impact of conflict at a very human scale,” said Kathy Moran, deputy director of Photography at National Geographic and member of the 2021 Photo Contest General Jury.
