Sofia Jern (Finland) Image Name: The world on your shoulders Photographer Name: Sofia Jern Year: 2020 "The photograph is taken in Kajiado distict of Kenya in August 2019. In a time where modern values such as education challenges the traditional customs of the Maasai people, Margret Koitangkei Nkalo is determined to choose education and not being given in marriage. When asked how Margret Koitangkei Nkalo would represent her people, she attired her traditional jewelry and looks calmly into the camera. It's important that indigenous peoples get to choose how they represent themselves - it is not for the world to define who they are, the choice should always be theirs." ©Inger Rønnenfelt/Sony World Photography Awards #Photography
