Jury's Feedback

  • ©

    Judge: Nikos Economopoulos

    A member of Magnum Photos since 1990, Nikos Economopoulos has received several awards for his work in the Balkans and Turkey and he is the author of two books.

    In his images, we discover countries that are not so distant from Western Europe but in which time seems to stand still. Thanks to his sense of composition and space, his subjects do not seem out of place, even in barren and seemingly endless landscapes. His pictures are powerful and full of warmth, but never cute.

    Economopoulos regularly teach and work around the world, in the context of his long-term On The Road project.⁠⁠
