The Sony World Photography Awards released the list of finalists for its ‘Professional’ category—one of which will go on to win the highly prized Photographer of the Year award. Above is an image from Horst Kistner’s ‘My Vintage Stories’—which has a distinct Wes Anderson vibe. We also love this surreal photograph by Peter Franck from his collection ‘Postcards From Heaven’. You can see all the winners here—or a smaller curation here.

The Independent Photographer‘s People Photography Award features wonderfully diverse photos from across the world. The winner this year was a street scene taken in Kolkata by Billy Dinh. It is indeed lovely, but our favourite is this acrobatic image of athletes at the Taekwondo Palace in Pyongyang. See the rest of the lovely winners over at Modern Met or the awards website.
