On assignment in South Sudan, Croatian photographer Jurica Galić knew that the South Sudanese Mundari people set fire to dried cow dung before sunset to repel mosquitoes. He used a natural framing device for this award-winning image. “My goal was to capture the relationship between man and nature, and while staying in the camp I came up with the idea of taking some photos through the horns of one of the animals. They became the frame, leading the viewer to the scene.” Galić plans to go back to South Sudan, look for the man in the image, donate part of the prize money to him and tell his story.
