The #1 Silver Camera prize went to Cigdem Yuksel, for her series of Syrian refugee kids who cannot go to school in Turkey for they have to help to make money for their families and these kids are forced to work 12-hour shifts six days a week. Dickensian days have returned in Turkey.
Alas my photo does not do justice for the images have striking subdued colours (the light reminds me of Dutch Masters), the faces held neutral and well lighted, in sharp contrast to the horrific photoreport made here.
