Slovenian Photographer Matic Zorman was awarded first prize (category: People) at this year's World Press Photo contest (previously), for a picture of a young refugee girl, Waiting to Register, taken one year ago in a small border town in Serbia.
Winning changed his life - now he wants to help change hers.
Zorman shot just one image, and didn't stop to take down her name or details. He writes "that image is not her complete story. I see it as the surface, the beginning of it. [...] I think I owe her and her family their complete story at least.
If her family will be willing to let me close and share parts of their life with me, I will know if her journey can represent the story of thousands juvenile refugees who shared the same roads paved with uncertainty.
Regardless the outcome, I believe this mission can also help us understand the effort and struggle endured by those refugee families who got separated while forced to find a new safer life.
Let’s take on the road and experience achieving the impossible together."
