Panel Discussion – Carmignac Photojournalism Award

Different thinking and angles for local photojournalism

How can regions in conflict or post-conflict situations be covered differently? Do local photographers have a way of seeing things that could change the visual and narrative codes so widely used?

These questions will be discussed with our two guest photographers who are both winners of the Carmignac Photojournalism Award: the 12th award-winner whose name will be announced at Visa pour l’Image-Perpignan on Thursday, September 1, and Finbarr O’Reilly. The panel discussion will be moderated by Christine Coste.

– Christine Coste is a freelance journalist and art critic, and a regular contributor to Le Journal des Arts and l’Œil. She has collaborated on a range of projects carrying out reports and investigations (e.g. with Série Limitée des Echos, Le Monde 2, Le Monde, Géo and Ulysse).

– The 12th winner of the Carmignac Photojournalism Award is a freelance photojournalist from Venezuela who spent six months documenting the disappearance of Venezuela’s middle class. The award-winner’s name will be announced at the Visa pour l’Image evening show in Perpignan, at Campo Santo, on Thursday, September 1, 2022, and the report will be presented as an exhibition opening in Paris on October 28, 2022.

– Finbarr O’Reilly is a freelance photographer and multimedia journalist, and a citizen of Canada and the United Kingdom. He devoted nearly two years to a collaborative reporting initiative named Congo in Conversation working with eleven photojournalists in the Republic of the Congo. His monography Congo: Une Lutte Sublime, published by the Carmignac Foundation and the publishing house Reliefs, has just been released.
