It also won first place in the Contemporary Issues category.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Life for lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender people is becoming increasingly difficult in Russia,\u2019 said World Press Photo organisers in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Sexual minorities face legal and social discrimination, harassment and even violent hate-crime attacks from conservative religious and nationalistic groups.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><em>New York Times<\/em> director of photography Michele McNally, chair of the judges, said: \u2018It is a historic time for the image\u2026 the winning image needs to be aesthetic, to have impact, and to have the potential to become iconic.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018This photo is aesthetically powerful, and it has humanity.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Fellow judge Pamela Chen said: \u2018We were looking for an image that would matter tomorrow, not just today.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Alessia Glaviano added: &#8216;I was hoping for a picture that was open and multi-layered, not only about a single event, but a global issue.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Today terrorists use graphic images for propaganda. We have to respond with something more subtle, intense and thoughtful.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The win is the latest in a string of accolades for Mads Nissen, who attended the Danish School of Journalism and won five Danish Press Photo first prizes in 2010 alone, including Photographer of the Year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Danish photographer has won the World Press Photo of
