Photo “Champion” has been selected as a Best photo at the 15th BETA’S PHOTOGRAPH OF THE YEAR. I am so happy that members of jury recognized my work and the importance of this story.

Photo “Champion” is a story about six-year-old boy Ismail Zulfic. He was born without arms and with a deformed foot into a society that often neglects and marginalizes people with disabilities. But his parents and an inspirational coach have helped him overcome his physical limitations and a fear of water. In 2017, after one year of training, he won a gold medal at a regional competition in Zagreb, Croatia.
