Photo of Armenian soldier resting in trench among World Press Photo winners
Vaghinak Ghazaryan’s “Resting Soldier” photo has been awarded 3rd prize in the Contemporary Issues/Singles category of the 2021 World Press Photo Contest.
The photo shows an Armenian soldier lying in a trench, resting on a plastic cover, in the northeastern part of Syunik, Nerkin Khndzoresk, Armenia on 31 October 2020.

This one image, such a simple moment focused on a shared need, was deeply touching and beautifully photographed. It was a different look at the impact of conflict at a very human scale,” said Kathy Moran, deputy director of Photography at National Geographic and member of the 2021 Photo Contest General Jury.
