Sony World Photography Awards
By Lucy Crossley
From a family of lions at rest in Gabon to a pair of young children tramp lining in the Brazilian favelas, these incredible images are among the winners and finalists of a prestigious competition showcasing the very best in photography from around the world.
The stunning pictures were taken by the winning and short listed artists competing in the Sony World Photography Awards, and were whittled down from more than 139,000 entries from 166 countries - the highest total in the awards' seven-year history.
Among the pieces, which were all taken over the past year, are photographs detailing all manner of subjects, from poignant images of domestic abuse, to a tender moment between a father and his young daughter.
Works by British photographers among the finalists include the dramatic post-race portraits of jockeys by Spencer Murphy and stunning still life photography by Bristol-based photographer Amanda Harman.
Italian photographer Salvatore Di Gregorio took this photograph as part of a series on Kushti - an ancient art of fighting that goes back to the 5th century BC and practiced in India, Pakistan and Iran
Harsh practices and strict rules are imposed on the Kushti wrestlers, some of whom start training when they are just five years old. The practitioners often come from poor backgrounds and fighting gives them the chance to win money to support their families
Live In Peace Love.
