This image is another from Radisics. He explained: 'I set the lights in advance, like in a studio, and waited for the protagonist to walk into the scenes. She always surprises me, showing a new side, and I have had to solve many technical, theoretical, and physical challenges in the process of photographing her'

This picture is from a powerful collection of images by Brazilian photographer Ricardo Teles that document the Kuarup, a ritual in which the Xingu indigenous Brazilians honour their dead. This shot captures a martial art called Huka-Huka. Teles, who was a finalist in the Sport category, said: 'These photographs were taken during a Kuarup celebration in the Afukuri village of the Kuikuro ethnic group. This year’s ritual honoured the people who lost their lives between the years 2020 and 2021: four of five were victims of Covid-19'

This shocking image of a flamingo in a rubber tyre was taken by Mehdi Mohebi Puor from Iran. It was shortlisted in the Environmental category and taken at Miankaleh International Wetland, located in the Mazandaran province of Iran, 25km (15.5 miles) north of the city of Behshahr. The photographer said: 'In recent years, we have witnessed the death of thousands of migratory birds in Iran’s Miankaleh Wetland – the cause is still unknown'

Showcasing flamingos in flight, this is another of Puor's shots. It was also taken at Miankaleh International Wetland

Belgian photographer Lieven Engelen was shortlisted in the Environment category for this striking image of a fishing village in Ghana after a storm had destroyed some of the houses there. Engelen said: 'The September storm was one of the latest examples of how global warming is accelerating and changing the face of the Earth. And how entire communities living in coastal areas are at risk from rising sea levels, resulting in migration. As long as carbon emissions continue to rise and rainforests are being reduced to irrelevance, there is nothing that will stop the immense power of an increasingly heated and acidic sea'

Hugh Kinsella Cunningham entered this shot into the Creative Story category and was rewarded with a place on the shortlist. In this image, Lele Pitshu, 32, poses for a portrait with her son Joseph and her baby Dominique at their village in the Kasai-Oriental province of the Democratic Republic of Congo. According to Cunningham, the communities here are still reeling from the aftershocks of decades of war and conflict

South African photographer Brent Stirton - a finalist in the Portraiture category - was behind the lens for this shot. The image shows the expert bushmeat hunter Nkani Mbou Mboudin with the antelope he just shot hunting in the forest around his village in Gabon, known as Doume. 'This village survives on fishing and bushmeat. Gabon has a sustainable bushmeat culture, largely because of its small population and large protected habitats,' says the photographer
