Professional still life category winner. Migrant Tomatoes, by Francesco Amorosino, Italy. Amorosino explains: “Tons of tomatoes are grown in the fields of the south of Italy and harvested by about 19,000 labourers, paid one or two euros for each filled box. In 2015 there were 13 deaths at work in the fields because of high temperatures. Many of those involved in the harvest are immigrants. On the tomatoes, still dirty with soil, I saw the fingerprints of those who had harvested, imagined their stories, the hours spent in the sun, the hope, the desire to work”.
