The 52nd World Press 2008 Photo Winners has been revealed. Taking the prize comes from Anthony Suau, an American photographer for taking a picture of a Cuyahoga County Officer armed moving through a home in Cleveland, Ohio. The story behind the picture is that the officer was in the home after an eviction, the meaning and powerful statement behind this great picture gave it the push it needed to be crowned the World Press winner. A awards ceremony will be taking place in May for a three-day program of lectures, discussions and screenings of photography. An exhibition of all the prizewinners works will be shown from May 4th until Jun 28th 2009 at Oude Kerk in Amsterdam.
