Time: Angelos Tzortzinis, the Best Wire Photographer of 2015

A dinghy overcrowded with Afghan migrants arrives on a beach on the Greek island of Kos, after crossing a part of the Aegean Sea between Turkey and Greece, May 27, 2015.

Wire photographers are at the forefront of the news. They’re the first ones on the scene, ready to drop everything in an instant when news breaks... 

Their names are often unknown – hidden in small print – but their photographs have reached audiences around the world, on the front pages of hundreds of newspapers and magazines.

For the last six years, TIME has turned the spotlight on the best of these photographers... This year, the choice was a tough one, as many of the photographers listed above continued to do stellar work...

But in the end, it was 31-year-old Greek photographer and Agence France-Presse stringer Angelos Tzortzinis who clinched the 2015 Wire Photographer of the Year title for his heartfelt work documenting his country’s response to two unprecedented crises...

“My goal is not to promote myself in photography,” he says. “Instead I want people to see my pictures and understand what they mean to me.”
