Best Photos From The Sony World Photography Awards 2019

Ashley Lez
Would it be wrong to say that photos are a powerful means of communication? It seems absurd, right? Wait till you see these breath-taking photos that were selected from the 130,000 submissions to the AGORA Awards Photography Contest 2019. We hope you will be as impressed and inspired as we were.

1. Enjoying The Rain

Rain in forest means a new life for many of the living beings there, especially in areas where it doesn't rain much.

2. Carrying the World On Her Shoulders

This image is able to show us a life reality. There are people among us who carry a lot more weight of responsibilities on their shoulders than they're supposed to carry.
