Our 2023 People Photography Award is now open for entries and will be judged by  Michael Yamashita. One of the most influential photographers of our time, he has spent much of his near-five-decade-long career travelling Asia, capturing truly extraordinary images that distil the essence of this vast, diverse continent.

At the turn of the 1980s, American photographer Joel Sternfeld set out on a journey across his homeland, along with way, capturing images that together impart the zeitgeist of the time, and were later published in the hugely influential and enduring masterpiece: 'American Prospects'.
