Somerset House - Coming soon: Sony World Photography Awards 2022

 A photo of a young boy using a garden hose to squirt an adult man sat in a deck chair. The image is caught mid-action, with the man opening his mouth in shock as a table next to him is knocked over, drinks spilling everywhere. In the background are chickens who all look to be running away.
