Images were taken at locations around the world, including Dublin, London, Krakow, Berlin and Seoul, and three finalists, Gregory Michenaud, Louise Hagger and Urszula Tarasiewicz, were chosen from the top fifty images. Pictured: a portrait of a woman standing in front of a table in an outfit that matches the table cloth. The image, taken by Yisook Sohn, is part of a series on middle class women living in a boomtown near Seoul, Korea. The photographer said of the portrait: 'However, women in the photographs are all different, but they look uniformly similar in some respects. People who have lost their character as they are disconnected from the past seem to be similar in mixed culture rather than being distinguished from others'
