The International Association of Professional Photographers of the East (IABPB), an international photography organization, announced the winning photographers who managed to better document the fears, emotions, pain, and beauty of the birth process.

"We are very proud of the participants in this year's competition because, despite all that we have gone through in recent months, this competition represents the resistance that birth photographers have to overcome unforeseen challenges," said Liz Cook, IABPB Director. "We are proud to present you with a breathtaking work that shares the most powerful moments of life in 2020."
