BENOIT AQUIN

A couple days ago my dear friend Benoit Aquin was awarded the first Prix Pictet. The Prix Pictet is a major new global prize in photography that focuses on perhaps the greatest single issue of the twenty-first century: sustainability. This year's thematic was water. Benoit's work entitled The Chinese Dust Bowl was selected amongst a very intimidating selection of striking series from everywhere around the globe.
