An aerial photograph of Minab wins the top prize at the wartime photography festival.
An aerial photograph by Minab Morteza Hussein-Achondis won first place in the "Looking at Life in a Time of War" festival, depicting the funeral and burial journey of 168 students and teachers who were killed in the American-Israeli attack on the Shejara Taibe school. The photo, which previously won gold at the Golden Photo Awards, shows neat, endless rows of small graves as the city gathers in mourning. Hassan Kadi won the second place in the photo of Tehran, and Jamshid Farajwand Farda in the third place for Kurdistan. All 50 shortlisted works will be exhibited in Paris.
