I was at The Royal Festival Hall (London) last Monday. One more year you can see there the World Press Photo Exhibition.

Since 1955, World Press Photo has invited press photographers of the world to participate in the premier annual international competition in press photography. This exhibition showcases the best photojournalism of the past year; it covers a wide range of topics from hard news to sports and portraits.

“Restrepo” by Tim Hetherington.

This year’s competition attracted 80,536 entries. For the first time since 1980, the main prize has been won by a British photographer – Vanity Fair photojournalist Tim Hetherington.

We can also find Spanish photographers among the winners, like Cristina Garcia Rodero, Miguel Riopa, Lorena Ross and Emilio Morenatti.
