Young photographer Jonny Hyams' work goes on show in the Association of Photographers' Gallery this week, part of his prize for winning Vice Magazine and Crtl.Alt.Shift's recent competition.
Hyams fended off competition from photographers all over the world, who submitted images exploring Gender, Power and Poverty. He went to India this January to photograph the SANLAAP project, which works for the rights of women and children. Images from the project will be on display from 19 - 27 February, alongside Hyam's original winning picture and entries from the other 15 finalists and the judges involved, including Ben Rayner, Valerie Philips and Vice's photo editor Alex Sturrock.
'When you look at the news these days it's either stuff about idiotic celebrities or doomsday reports about how the world's bankers are all going to hell,' says Vice magazine's editor Andy Capper. 'Past the mainstream media scrum there's a whole world out there of human stories that to me are far more important than famous people or money. The reason why we're involved in this campaign with Ctrl.Alt.Shift is to let people know about the work they're doing in parts of the world where basic human rights are still being totally ignored. Please take time to look at what's going on here.'

I am waiting for the locomotive that will surely arrive to crush them! But seriously, they look intimidated and embarrassed. NOONE poses on railtracks now, do they?
