Zélie Hallosserie, a French photographer finishing her studies in Belgium, has won the first Saltzman-Leibovitz photography prize, established by renowned photographers Annie Leibovitz and Lisa Saltzman. She receives $10,000 for her project 'The Game', which focuses on the experiences of migrants in Calais. Hallosserie emphasizes the importance of showcasing these often overlooked stories amidst today's political climate. Other shortlisted photographers were mentored by Leibovitz, with their works to be displayed at the upcoming Photo London fair, showcasing emerging talent in photography.
"Her ongoing project, The Game, captures the personal journeys and stories of migrants in Calais, an often perilous final junction before reaching the United Kingdom."
"This prize matters a lot to me as it gives visibility to a cause that is often overlooked or misunderstood, especially in today's political context."
