Israeli photographer Or Adar has won Photographer of the Year in the international Drone Photo Awards competition for his aerial image called Must Resist, capturing thousands of anti-judicial coup protesters on the streets of Tel Aviv.

The Drone Awards is an international aerial photography and video competition held annually with the express aim of showcasing photographic work that is separate to traditional photography.

To win the title, Adar’s image received the highest score from a panel of judges, amongst entries to nine different categories. Adar’s photograph, along with the category winners, will be exhibited in Siena, Italy throughout November.

The photograph captures just one of 24 weeks of protests against the Israeli government’s plan to overhaul the country’s judicial system, that proposes to transfer greater power to the government and away from the Supreme Court in both legislative decisions and judicial appointments.

Hundreds of thousands of Israelis have been gathering in the streets each week on Saturday under banners that call for the protection of democracy in a desperate attempt to stop the proposed overhaul. The public power of the protests put a halt to the legislative efforts earlier this year, though recent moves suggest the coalition intends to unilaterally implement the changes.
