The judges also chose a photo taken in Bangladesh but this one showed people working at a brick factory in dangerous conditions.

“Bangladesh needs a lot of material to push forward its development,” says Belgian photographer Alain Schroeder.

“That is why you can see a lot of brick factories in the country — where men, women, and even children work in difficult and dangerous conditions.”
