Best photographic reporting from abroad in newspapers and wire services
AWARD YEAR: 2005
AWARD NAME: The John Faber Award 2005
RECIPIENT: Rina Castelnuovo
AFFILIATION: The New York Times
HONORED WORK: “Leaving Gaza”
Living in the region for many years didn’t diminish Castelnuovo’s ability to capture the emotional story of Jewish settlers’ forced withdrawal from Gaza and the West Bank. Each image depicts an intimate moment in the struggle between “the believers and non-believers.” The Israeli soldiers are clearly torn by having to evict fellow Jews from the land and homes they believe are theirs by divine right.
