Known Stranger by Shahnaz Parvin
During a visit to Kolkata, the photographer sought to capture the essence of local culture through the iconic yellow taxis that define the city's streets. While waiting at a traffic signal near Park Street, a curious young boy approached the taxi window, his gaze fixed on the camera. This fleeting, intimate interaction between two strangers—the photographer and the child—resulted in a poignant portrait. The image is award-worthy for its raw, spontaneous humanity, capturing a moment of genuine connection that transcends the barriers of language and circumstance in a bustling urban environment.
