Ziyu (Julian) Zhu won Best in Show at the Boston Press Photographers Association\u2019s 2022 College Contest for this photo, in which a child marches with the crowd at the global climate strike march in Boston.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Zhu was on assignment for China Xinhua News Agency covering the march, and said he chose to focus in closely on the child because he thought it would tell a better story. It wasn\u2019t until later, he said, that he realized the picture was taken in the right place at the right time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat stood out was not just the little girl’s serious expression, but the color as well: her pink sweater stood out from the black that surrounded her,\u201d he said. \u201cMoreover, during a climate strike like this, this young girl can also be seen as a sign of hope.\u201d<\/p>\n

He found out about the competition through College of Communication faculty members as well as colleagues at The Daily Free Press, where he is Associate Photo Editor.<\/p>\n

Having just completed his sophomore year at CGS, Zhu plans to continue into COM to study Journalism with a minor in Film and Television. His eventual goal is to work in photojournalism.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt blessed and grateful that my work could be recognized by the professionals in the photojournalism field,\u201d he said of the honor. \u201cTheir recognition\u00a0will definitely be a strong inspiration\u00a0for me in achieving my future photojournalism-related goals.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
