In this image from Canon Ambassador Ksenia Kuleshova's Abkhazia series, a boy jumps into the water from a high metal construction at the end of the pier in Sukhum, the capital of the breakaway state. "Children always spend their free time on the beach," Ksenia says.

Ksenia's positive and sensitive approach, together with her determination to follow a story and her innate visual ability, has made her one of the most prominent documentary photographers of her generation.
