Female in Focus Award Winners Announced
24 September 2019
854 Media, publisher of British Journal of Photography, has announced the winning photographers of the inaugural Female in Focus award. Two series were cited as well as 20 winning single images.
Series Winners. Priya Kambli (l) and Katinka Schuett.
The photographers whose bodies of work were awarded prizes are Priya Kambli and Katinka Schuett:
- Kambli's series, Buttons For Eyes, explores issues of loss, memory and the photographer's hybrid cultural identity, by physically manipulating old family photographs and then rephotographing the altered artefacts.
- Schuett's series, Cosmic Drive, questions how contradictory spheres of fantasy and hard science can be made visible.
These series and the 20 winning single images that will accompany them in the exhibition have all been captured by a multitude of diverse feminine perspectives.
Valérie Six. One of 20 single image winners.
Female in Focus will be on show at United Photo Industries gallery in 16 Main St #B, Brooklyn, N.Y., from Oct. 22 to Nov. 15. The exhibition will be open to the public from Tuesday to Saturday 12 a.m. to 6 p.m.
