To celebrate our Travel Award (open for entries until the end of August), we've surveyed our stories archive and selected 10 inspiring photo series from across the globe. The stories section of our online magazine serves as a space for showcasing exciting projects from some of the most talented and creative practitioners of today, exemplified in these 10 fascinating projects.

In our hyper-saturated world, where each day we’re bombarded with an endless stream of new images, Luisa Dörr (judge of our 206 Portrait Award) stands out. The Brazilian photographer is quickly building a reputation as one of the world’s most creative and perceptive photographers, using her work as a powerful vehicle to tell the stories of those she portrays.
