Nikon Photo Contest 2022-2023 Judges

Andrew Esiebo

Photographer
Federal Republic of Nigeria

Our world is the embodiment of hope, love, joy, peace, miracles, innovation, and advances in human rights, yet it also faces despair, inequality, injustice, crises, and challenges.
Peace treaties and declarations of war, minority rights won and lost, gatherings for celebration and refuge, technologies that help some yet hold others hostage—visual storytelling is a powerful tool in bringing these situations to our attention.
In this contest, I want to see unique global realities revealed visually in images that spark imagination, force new insight, and make our world a better place.
