WORLD PRESS PHOTO 2021 ROLAND SCHMID - CROSS-BORDER LOVE 065
Kreuzlingen, 30th March 2020 - Josephina H. from Arbon (Switzerland) and Josef B. from Singen am Hohentwiel (Germany) have been a couple for 30 years. Now the lovers meet three times a week at the closed border between Kreuzlingen and Konstanz to at least be allowed to look at each other...For the first time since World War II, Switzerland has closed its borders due to the Corona-pandemic. Borders, which in recent decades had hardly been noticed by the population, invisible lines that could be crossed freely by the inhabitants of both sides..The Corona-pandemic caused the authorities to put up fences again, barrier tapes signalled the boundaries of what could be crossed and retraced the border that had been reinforced with barbed wire during the Second World War..For us Europeans, accustomed to freedom, they were a clear disturbance of the familiar..The fences towards Germany became a meeting place for those people who were geographically separated by the Coronavirus. They pressed against the fence to talk to each other or, where possible, to exchange caresses. Love cannot be locked away..The borders were closed from 16th March to 15th June 2020.

Riehen, 25th April 2020 - For their first meeting since the outbreak of the pandemic, the three friends Sergio C., Sami K. and David C. settled on both sides of the border on a sunny meadow on Bischoffhöhe near Riehen...For the first time since World War II, Switzerland has closed its borders due to the Corona-pandemic.

Schiever, Louisiana - Torrell Jasper, a.k.a. Black Rambo [35] - Every day, nearly nine hundred thousand people wait for Torrell Jasper to make his appearance on Instagram and show off one of his guns. To find him, just type in "Black Rambo", a nickname he's extremely proud of, and make sure you don't end up on his son's account by mistake (at 13, he's already trying to make a name for himself on social media). Torrell, now 35, learned to shoot from his father as a child. A former Marine, he spent a few years in war zones, "where pulling the trigger and hitting the target was a question of life or death"; Now, back in civilian life and working as an A/C systems installer, Torrell, a.k.a. Black Rambo, mostly just has fun with his guns. People have fun watching him, too. "There are no weapons I would ban ordinary citizens from owning, but if I had to name one, well, a bazooka isn't really something you need" he admits.

Las Vegas, Nevada - Robert Baldwin Jr. [39] - In a dream mansion just outside Las Vegas, in a room that's more of a museum, is where Robert Baldwin Jr. keeps his guns, behind a bulletproof showcase window so like a mirror that, unless you turn on the lights inside, you can't see the collection at all. It comprises hundreds of pieces. None of them have historical significance, but Robert is nonetheless quite attached to them. "I like to give myself a gun as a gift to mark important moments, like Christmas or my birthday." It's a family tradition. When he turned 6, his father gave him his first .22-caliber rifle and taught him how to use it. "He used to shoot for fun. He was a hunter, and he wanted to bring me along, to forge a special bond. He succeeded". Today, Robert is a well-known rally driver. He's competed three times in the Dakar rally-raid and has twice won the Baja 1000, one of the most famous such races. He never goes out unarmed. "If I'm wearing pants, it means that my handgun's there somewhere". He is against any restrictions on owning weapons, although he does concede that "no private citizen should be able to have a nuclear warhead".

Putnam Valley, New York. Bree Michael Warner [43] - When Bree Michael Warner decided to leave Manhattan and the city for somewhere less fastpaced, she put a lot of thought into what county would be best. In some, guns are strongly frowned upon, in others, they are better tolerated. She owns 18 and is "an anomaly, in this ultra-liberal area". Most importantly, she has turned that fact into a cornerstone of her life. For 15 years she worked as an actress and TV-show host in California. It was there that she really got to know guns - to love them so much, in fact, that she became an NRA member and a firearms instructor. Now she teaches women how to shoot, not only for self-defence, but also just for fun. Her first piece of advice to her students is, "It's much easier to use a long gun than a handgun. They're more accurate and it's easier to hit the target". She still takes acting jobs sometimes, in TV and film, but she and her tips about guns have become a point of reference for a large social media following. "I always try to be genuine. I never talk about a gun if I don't really like it. I don't take instructions from companies, even if I do have longstanding relationships with a few different ones." What qualities does a gun need to have for her to like it? "I don't look only at aesthetic qualities, although, as a woman, I do like pretty guns. What I want is for them to be practical, both for teaching others and for self-defense".

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Will Renke [35] - Every two weeks, Will Renke buys a new firearm. How long he's been doing this and how many guns he has, he prefers not to say. "My collection? It's big. Really, really ". Underneath the solid image of a bright young entrepreneur, it's clear that he's moved when he thinks back on the time he first fired a gun, at the age of 10, and on the shotgun itself, a Fox Savage .410 that he keeps carefully preserved. "Nothing is more important, because I don't think of it simply as a gun. It's a piece of history, something that was given to me by my grandfather and that I will want to give to my children.". His grandfather imparted another lesson, as well, about "the importance of safety and the knowledge that you never pull the trigger unless you know exactly what's in front of you". He is firmly convinced that violence is intrinsically linked to human nature and to a decline in values, both family and otherwise. "People only care about their own interests, so, if hurting someone is in that interest, they won't hesitate. The next generations will have a chance to improve things if they learn responsibility, if they know how to communicate with others, if they respect their families, their schools, and the President, too, even when they don't like him".

[Individual captions available late March] - Story: Military summer camps for youth have existed in Poland since the 1920s. The young participants are put through boot camps, challenged physically and mentally, and given instruction—often on former army training grounds—in skills such as tactics, survival, self-defense, and topography. They are also taught to shoot, using air rifles and sometimes replica weaponry such as machine guns and grenade launchers. The camps are promoted as opportunities for adventure and recreation, and as character-building and encouraging team work. Organizers maintain that participating in games with replica weapons prevents children from seeking out real ones. On the other hand, there is criticism that suggests the popularity of the camps stems from the rise of nationalism in Poland, particularly since the coming into power of Law and Justice (PiS), a right-wing populist party. Patriotism and nationalism play a significant role in school education.

[Individual captions available late March] - Story: More than one million immigrants from Africa officially reside in Italy, as well as an unknown number of undocumented migrants, many of whom have made a perilous and often life-threatening journey to get there. The photographer compares migrants in Italy to scattered stars, a constellation of young people from different countries, of different genders, and with different traits. They have all come to Italy for different personal reasons and are celebrated for their individual stories, in a way that tries to resist stereotyping of African migrants. A 2016 study by the International Organization of Migrants pointed to insecurity, conflict, and discrimination as the main drivers of migration, not solely economic and work reasons. Discrimination on the basis of social group, religion, or sexual orientation was mentioned by almost half of the study group. In October 2020, the Italian government adopted a decree overturning many of the anti-immigration policies introduced by the previous interior minister Matteo Salvini, leader of the right-wing Lega Nord (Northern League).
