While nearly everyone has a camera on them these days, only a few know how to capture a story of global significance.
This year four winners were selected from over 60,000 entries for the World Press Photo awards. Among them was Alejandro Cegarra for his long-term project The Two Walls, which highlights the plight of migrants in Mexico. Alejandro was already an award winner - in 2014 his photo-essay on those living in the unfinished 'Tower of David' in Caracas earned him the Leica Oskar Barnack Newcomer Award and The Ian Parry scholarship.
His work will be on display in Auckland as part of the World Press Photo exhibition which opened at the weekend.
