These incredible student photos are up for the World Photography awards

The winner will receive €30,000 worth of Sony photography equipment.

THE WORLD PHOTOGRAPHY Organisation today announced the shortlisted photographers in the Student and Youth competition which will go on display as part of the Sony World Photography Awards 2020 exhibition in London in April. 

From Shortlisted Student Photographer Amy Davis in South Africa, here’s Bob. 

Turtle One. The Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town run a very special turtle rehab where they rescue and heal sick turtles such as Bob and release them back into the wild, says Davis. WorldPhoto.org WorldPhoto.org

“The sad fact is that most of the turtles are sick and injured because of plastic in their system. Did you know that a plastic bag floating in water looks exactly like a jelly fish? If I can’t tell the difference, how is Bob meant to?” says Davis, highlighting the effects of pollution on marine life.

Lacrime Di Coccordrillo from Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Italy project focuses “on the feeling of a subtle and deep line that defines a substantial difference between humanity and the environment.

“The growing concern for the preservation of the planet seems some how to underline this difference as if humans had to intervene to protect ‘the environment’.”

From Peru, Micaela Del Sol Angulo’s ‘Rap from the vulva’ explores rap culture. 

Since what we understand by hip hop goes beyond its elements, and what I try to show is not only the elements that conform it but also what each one transmits through them, from breaking to rap, each one It shows and transmits what it does and is. Thus showing people outside this culture, that this is not only the commercial format that they sell to us today, but that for years a strong culture has been forming, full of history here in Peru.

    The IPO seems large but I would invest in shares in this company way quicker than tinder, snapchat whatever. Those companies haven’t even turned over a penny yet this company is a trading platform similar to ebay & is turning over a large annual figure, and you need to see the amount of sellers/products the site offers. This is a business site, selling to both individuals & traders, I would imagine the average purchase is way bigger than ebay
