From the Judges
No Photoshop trickery here! Smoke alarms went off while shooting this photo for a story about York University Disaster & Emergency Program’s research on wildfire management. The image successfully establishes a feeling of controlled anxiety and concern. The subject’s face is deadpan, yet the photo conveys humor. Judges liked the stark background.
