The photograph was taken in the streets of Mumbai and is part of a wider series of images of the sellers who display the candy in a variety of ways in the hope of attracting a buyer.
“I’m ecstatic to receive this award, it’s a real honour to get this recognition in such a prestigious competition laden with wonderful imagery,” says Enoch.
“The winning image was part of a personal project – a huge amount of time and thought went into capturing it so it’s great to be recognised by such an esteemed panel of judges. Ever since I first saw the candy floss sellers I was drawn to the shapes, colours and juxtaposition of the candy and the urban environment.”
Here are some of the competition category winners, with descriptions by the photographers.

“The people who were with me were very afraid of lightning, but I stayed to witness the change of the storm when Heaven and Earth seemed to be connected by wind and water.
“I tried to stay calm, to forget my fear and shoot this moment.”

“This image was taken from my visit to Shwe Gu Orphanage monastery in Old Bagan, Myanmar, in 2018.
“I visited this monastery for three days and observed their daily routines. Most of these children have lost their parents and have no family.
“They are training to be Buddhist monks.”
