    The pictures are made in Abkhazia, one of the small breakaway republics of Georgia. I went there because I was curious about life in a country which didn’t formally exist: What is life like in a country marked by war, isolation and not recognized, with no or limited possibilities to travel abroad or having contact with the surrounding world?

    With this being our first year for the Award, we didn’t really know what to expect. But we were completely blown away with the turn out – 43 different schools and universities were represented, spanning the globe from the US to Germany to Bangladesh to Denmark to the UK. We were also very pleased with the quality of submissions. Many were very well developed and displayed a sophisticated visual language.

    the newspaper industry is in crisis, and it’s unrealistic to expect that a staff photographer job is out there waiting for you — even if you’ve got the world’s best portfolio. Goals have changed – you have to take care of yourself.

    You’re still expected to make incredible pictures, but you also need to market yourself and make sure the business is making money. People graduating today find themselves swimming in a vast pool of freelancers, and a good photo education is one that teaches photographers a lot more than how to shoot pictures.

  • Inside CPOY: In & Out with Leah Beane

    In a book, my favourite images are usually hidden. The books are all on their shelves. I don’t have books lying around, their images exposed (ever since one of the cats once threw up on an Alfred Steichen book [a possible sign that her taste is strictly contemporary, but I don’t want to overinterpret things] I am a bit careful with books). If I want to see an image, I go and open the book, and then… there it is. It’s almost a bit like as if it was newly revealed, and I can look at it again.
