“Anadolu Agency is the address of news, photos and videos but we want to be more effective in photography,” Deputy Director General and Editor-in-Chief Metin Mutanoglu said.<\/p>\n
All the photographs from “Istanbul Photo Awards 2018” will be displayed at the ATG Shopping Center in the High-Speed Train Station in Ankara until Oct.14.<\/p>\n
“Istanbul Photo Awards have grown to become one of the most prestigious and significant photo contests and thousands of photographers take part in it,” Mutanoglu added.<\/p>\n
The international contest is sponsored by Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, Turkish Airlines and Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA).<\/p>\n
The agency’s Visual News Editor-in-Chief Ahmet Sel said almost everything about life was present in the photos.<\/p>\n
“We especially want the youth in Turkey to focus on the art of photography,” Sel added.<\/p>\n
Damir Sagolj, a Bosnian photojournalist from Reuters, was named this year’s winner with a striking shot of an 11-month-old dead Rohingya boy, whose eyes were covered with leaves.<\/p>\n
