That award should be called the “Right Place at the Right Time” award. It’s a compelling photo but it’s not like it is artistic or special for composition or lighting. It’s just a dude on fire.
Kind of the epitome of play stupid games actually. Given that the police weren’t throwing fire, I am going to go out on a limb and say he got set on fire by his own side while they were tossing Molotov Cocktails.

World Press Photo focuses on photojournalism, not artists who do photography in a studio or take landscapes.

Maybe he’s just running really really fast.

I bet he was thinking, “I hope somebody gets a picture of this.”

That should be the artwork on my new mixtape.

Resignation syndrome (RS) renders patients passive, immobile, mute, unable to eat and drink, incontinent and unresponsive to physical stimulus. It is a condition believed to exist only amongst refugees in Sweden. The causes are unclear, but most professionals agree that trauma is a primary contributor, alongside a reaction to stress and depression. It is also not clear why cases are found exclusively in Sweden. RS has so far affected only refugees aged seven to 19, and mainly those from ex-Soviet countries or the former Yugoslavia. For many, the syndrome is triggered by having a residence application rejected. Granting residence to families of sufferers is often cited as a cure.

The only thing that gives this a chance at legitimacy is the patient being unresponsive to physical stimuli.

My buddy is a medic and had a guy in law enforcement custody faking a seizure and just being unruly. He loudly told the cops: “Get ready to turn him over and hold him down, I have to shove this big tube in his arse to relieve the seizure symptoms. I don’t think we have time for the lube.” Said the guy immediately quit faking the seizure and got real cooperative.

Which IF objectively accurate, would be an interesting case to explore the ability of the brain to go into hibernation mode like that. Seriously, IF the patient is unresponsive to physical stimuli, it would appear legit. I'd put ammonia under their noses, hot iron pins on the bottom of their bare feet, pour fire ants all over them. If they remained 100% unresponsive, wow. I wonder how many people in concentration camps this happened to? Those wouldn't be studied, they'd be tossed into the pit.

Hmm, I'm not sure if you've ever tried real photography, but to catch that level of motion, including the blazing fire, with that lighting, in such a clear picture is waaaay harder than it looks.
100 people on this sight could try to take that pic and maybe 1 or 2 would come out nearly that good.

Last year's winner was incredible.
