The Sony World Photography Awards 2019 ended on April 18th with the final ceremony. The Italian Federico Borella won the price of the Photographer of the Year with his series “Five Degrees”, that aims to open our eyes on the dramatic conséquences of the climate change on Indian agriculture, that led to a massive wave of suicides among the Farmers. “I wanted to be able to show how our choices in the west affect people in places like India,” Borella said to The Guardian. “I felt obliged – but I didn’t want to produce cliched photos of desperate conditions in India. I wanted this to tell a personal story. “This visibility is simply an incredible oppportunity for me as a photographer, this is a winning ticket, a chance that only happens once”
he adds. All the candidates explored, through their works, the main issues of contemporary world.
