This year's World Press exhibition includes work from the Dutch photographer Carla Kogelman. In 2012, Kogelman was commissioned by Szene Bunte Wähne, a youth theater festival in Austria, to make a documentary about the rural Waldviertel region. Her portrait series of Hannah (7) and Alena (9) -two sisters who live in Merkenbrechts, a village of 170 inhabitants in Waldvierteltors- won a first prize at the World Press Photo Contest 2014 in the category Observed portraits.
