    "This picture is technically outstanding in its use of light and composition," awards founder and director Caroline Kenyon says.

    "But what raises it to the level of historic importance is the depth of its storytelling and emotion.

    "It tells of a year of isolation and living indoors, living in tiny communities of immediate family.

    You'd be surprised mate. Compared to your average house price down south, our place was a snip. You couldn't even get a 1 bed flat in Shepherds Bush for what we paid for this...

    Amazon in pictures: Sebastião Salgado's last frontier

    please log in to view this image

    Bank of the Rio Negro, near the Anavilhanas archipelago, in the state of Amazonas, 2019

    Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado spent six years travelling around the Amazon region, capturing images of the forest, rivers and mountains for his latest book, Amazônia.


    "For me, it is the last frontier, a mysterious universe of its own, where the immense power of nature can be felt as nowhere else on Earth," he says.
