Photo of the month for June 2024 by Nikita Teryoshin, as voted by BME members.
Some words from Nikita about the photo:
“On the picture you can see Friedrich Merz enjoying standing ovations on stage after being reelected as chairman of the German Christian Democratic Party during the CDU convention in Berlin. I have been shooting on assignment for the german Spiegel Magazin and got a spot infront of the lectern. Due to all the the other photographers, I wasn't able to move that much. I realized that the lectern gives a nice shadow in his face. I like the idea of not showing everything, anonymizing powerful subjects and not to fullfill the expectations of the viewers on a journalistic picture. “
