"""Photographer Ilan Wittenberg, of New Zealand, was awarded as Editorial winner for his submission, titled Timid (pictured). Taking to social media, Wittenberg said: 'During this project, I made a point to learn basic phrases of the Maasai language to connect with the community – I found that the Maasai people opened up much more when they saw that I was engaged in their language and culture. I faced numerous challenges during this project, including extremely limited time for photographing the people as well as technical issues in capturing facial details using natural light only. I made a point to ask people's permission, and create rapport. One of the guides taught me how to say: """"My name is Ilan. What is your name?"""" using the Maa language. I also ensured that I was able to tip the people who agreed to be photographed to thank them for their time'"""
