One Frame

Winner and Finalists

Honouring the strength of a single photographic portrait.

WINNER
2025 // ONE FRAME

Javier Arcenillas

Citizens of despair
More than years after their expulsion from Myanmar, thousands of unregistered Rohingya refugees living in the Kutupalong makeshift camp, Bangladesh, have been forcibly displaced from their homes, in an act of intimidation and abuse by the local authorities. Some international organisations have been treating numerous people for injuries where the majority were women and children victims of rejection, and the situation doesn’t seem to be advancing but towards the ultimate despair of these new asian parias.

FINALIST
2025 // ONE FRAME

Hanna Wolf

Weaning Elowen
In my final days of breastfeeding, I photographed myself with my daughter. Abandoning self-led weaning was one of the hardest choices I’ve made as a mother. The anecdotal advice was endless: “Don’t offer, don’t refuse. Try garlic or vinegar on your nipples. Leave home until she forgets.” In the end, it was the bandages on my chest that worked, because she understood the word broken. In that moment, the familiar quietly shifted toward something new and unknown. As my deepest attachment met my desire for release, I turned the camera on myself to acknowledge the vulnerability of being caught between holding on and letting go.

FINALIST
2025 // ONE FRAME

Ahmed El Hanjoul

This is my eye
A village woman from Lebanon, her face is full of wrinkles. Her hands are clearly tired. She holds her chicken as if it were a piece of her.
