That’s Press Photographers behind the prestigious annual prizes of the ultimate in Norwegian photo and video journalism.

Jury’s Decision to give Nordahl price for photo titled “Ruinliv” is that the picture that tells a people who a few years ago, experienced a high level of prosperity and then felt that everything was chaos.

“The photographer has managed to maneuver in this chaos, to capture a time picture of a situation that still perceived as recognizable.

Three neatly dressed people standing in front of a gate, with purse and shopping bags. Around them, everything dissolves.

The image carried by contrasts, both visually and symbolically. It is intuitive, sad and very strong. This year’s best picture is still filled with an incredible dignity, the jury said.
