As well as celebrating the highest standards in photojournalism, the awards seek to archive some of the most poignant moments in human history, captured through the medium of photography.

The project

Services:
Subtitling

Languages:
English, Mandarin, Russian and Arabic

We were delighted to once again provide subtitling for videos accompanying the World Press Photo organisation’s annual competition, a service we have been providing since 2011. 

Our approach

The videos VSI subtitled involved photographers and multimedia producers discussing their award-winning work.  

VSI provided English subtitles, translated from several languages, including Mandarin, Russian and Arabic - a reflection of the truly global nature of the material.

Outcome

Each video provides informative commentary and background information on these highly insightful and inspiring photos, giving a glimpse into the moments they so brilliantly capture.
