Our highlights from the Canarian Photo Awards 2023
OVERALL WINNER
‘The Hammer and Sickle’
Santiago Leonardo Rodriguez
“Only by being in the right place at the right time can you take this type of photograph. At that very moment, I was there photographing the summit of the old volcano at La Palma when the sparks flew up. This is nature in its wildest state!”
AERIAL SILVER
‘Incense Workers’
Azim Khan Ronnie
“Vietnamese workers surrounded by incense sticks in Quang Phu Cau, near Hanoi, Vietnam. The bamboo bundles are arranged on the ground on sunny days so they dry out. To make the sticks, the bamboo is split in two and then coloured red, purple or yellow.”
