Best photographic reporting from abroad in magazines and books
AWARD YEAR: 2002
AWARD NAME: The Olivier Rebbot Award 2002
RECIPIENT: Simon Norfolk
AFFILIATION: Growbag for The New York Times Magazine
HONORED WORK: “What’s Left of Kabul”
To document Kabul after the fall of the Taliban, Norfolk treated the city as an archeological project, as if studying the remains of an ancient civilization. Looking at the skeleton of a once- thriving place, one sees an eerily quiet beauty in these pictures. This approach to picturing the aftermath of war was innovative and highly effective.
