For the series category, Russian photographer Marina Kazakova won the Black & White Series of the Year 2019, with a $3000 cash prize.

Her series, “The Poetics of Childhood” is “expressed in a psychological journey through intimate visions of private life, showing that there are stories worth telling all around us.
