With a delay of almost a year due to Covid-19, the winners of the international photo competition ‘Global Peace Photo Award’ were honored for the eighth time on the evening of 19 July, 2021, in the Austrian Parliament. The main prize ‘Peace Image of the Year 2020’ with a value of € 10,000 went to Iranian photographer Sasan Moayyedi, who lives in Tehran, for a photo from his reportage entitled ‘Love Story’ on the remarkable fate of Salah Saeedpour.
As a fifteen-year-old, Salah Saeedpour stepped on a landmine during a family picnic in the Iranian-Kurdish province of Marivan near the border to Iraq and lost both hands and both eyes. He physically became a cripple. According to the numbers with which such a condition is measured, he has been 70 percent disabled ever since. But he hasn’t given up. He continued to exercise his mutilated body, without being able to see the slightest bit of the world around him, until he started winning medals in swimming. That’s when he met the love of his life, a young Kurdish woman named Sarveh Amini he married in 2014. Four months following the...

“The photo book ‘Like Birds’ by photographer Sven Jacobsen takes us back to a carefree time of youthful self-awareness, to a summer full of adventure. In their immediacy, a timeless dimension develops in his photographs of youngsters experimenting; exuberantly jumping into the water; clambering around on fences, poles, and dunes; being silly; kissing; skateboarding; or simply lying in the tall grass.” HATJE CANTZ tells us about the book ‘Like Birds’ by photographer SVEN JACOBSEN.
For the book release, no less than two exhibitions will be held featuring a selection of motifs: on 11 August in Hamburg and on 26 August in Berlin. Photographer Sven Jacobsen will, of course, also be attending and looks forward to seeing you. The venue for both is the Circle Culture Gallery.
SVEN JACOBSEN, born 1969, began working as a freelance photographer in 1999 after studying architecture. He is known for his campaigns for major clients such as BMW, Nikon, and Coca-Cola, as well as for his editorials for magazines such as Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, and Interview.
