how we communicate, like a quiet dance’

This is an image of the buﬀet options at Jerry Mikeska’s Bar-BQ. ‘[It] accurately depicts a curious
juxtaposition of food to prey. Jerry opened his restaurant in Columbus, Texas in 1956, following
the tradition of his father and brothers,’ according to Frishman. ‘“Daddy was a meat man,” Jerry
says. More than 200 taxidermied mounts decorate the walls, but the buﬀet steam table just comes
out on Sunday. “I only shot a few of these,” Jerry said, “but I bought some more to make an
impression”’

Open travel and Bangladesh national award second-place
winner: Md Enamul Kabir
‘It was the morning of 13 January 2017 at Kamalapur Railway Station, Dhaka, Bangladesh.

passenger was trying to enter through the window because he could not go through the door’

Manuel Armenis
‘The most digniﬁed lady of the neighborhood [is] bravely defying the burden of her old age,’ says

even though everyday life is exhausting and challenging. But you never see her without her best
friend – her little dog’

Open portraiture and UK national award winner: Nick Dolding
‘I shot Emile in London when I was commissioned to shoot stills for a PayPal ad campaign. The
campaign took its inspiration from Wes Anderson’s ﬁlm The Royal Tenenbaums. Emile’s styling
was so fantastic I couldn’t resist shooting a portrait of him. I wanted to retain the humour, but
have him looking aloof and hoity-toity’
