Environmental photographer of the year and quality of life winner: Happy in her own world, Abhijit Nandi, India. ‘The woman in my picture is returning home from the paddy field after a long day at work. She never thought a village woman could be the subject of a photograph, so when I told her I’d like to take a picture of her, she just laughed’

Quality of life, runner up: An illegal tannery, Alex Masi. Two children use their legs to find the remaining skins in a bath of contaminated water during liming – the process of removing hair and impurities with the use of chemicals, especially chromium – in one of 160 illegal tanneries in Jajmau, India. Children are paid $1 a day to work, while those in nearby villages are starting to show symptoms of chromium contamination. Most of the leather is exported to Europe
