Finalist: Exiles

A series of photographs that reflects a strong sense of identity or narrative. Respect for the dignity of the person is important.

    Exiles

    A dissident actress in Cuba, a photographer in Pakistan or an Afghan musician exiled in Kyrgyzstan, the people featured in this series of portraits have their lives challenged by their circumstances and the detrimental politics of their countries. In a mental or geographical exile, they all share a strength made of resilience mingled with vulnerability, an urge to live and fight and a peculiar inner world.
