The Press Photographer's Year 2010

Press Photographer's Year: A man walks past a barrow laden with corpses in Port-au-Prince
FIRST PRIZE: Live news. David Levene. A man walks past a barrow laden with corpses at the Grande Cimetière in Port-au-Prince, four days after the earthquake that struck Haiti on 12th January 2010. Death toll estimates following the disaster have ranged between 170,000 and 250,000 and in the days immediately after the earthquake so many dead bodies were dumped here that they ended up strewn throughout the avenues and walkways of the cemetery. Most unidentified bodies were eventually buried in mass graves around the edges of the city. 16th January 2010

SELECTED: Photo essay. David Levene. The father of a child lying injured reads a small bible, in an outdoor compound of the Jean Damien children's hospital near to the American Embassy in Port-Au-Prince.

Press Photographer's Year: Young men trade tyres recently scavenged in downtown Port-Au-Prince
SELECTED: Photo essay. David Levene. Young men trade tyres scavenged on Rue Pavée in downtown Port-au-Prince. So called 'looting' was generally over-reported by international media. Although there were pockets of looting activity in a small area of downtown Port-au-Prince, the scenes around the wider city were of people calmly trying to continue with their lives in the face of horrendous disaster and destruction. 20th January 2010
