Ciril Jazbec, Waiting to Move, MA Photojournalism and Documentary Photography
Documentary Photographer and London College of Communication graduate Ciril Jazbec has been awarded two prestigious prizes in 2013.
Ciril, who studied MA Photojournalism & Documentary Photography at LCC, has been named winner of Les Recontres Arles Photography Photo Folio Review and been awarded the Leica Oskar Barnack Newcomer Award – both for his series ‘Waiting to Move’ following the the lives of an island Eskimo community in the far north west of Alaska.
His work will now be on show in 2014 at Les Rencontres d’Arles, a summer photography festival founded in 1970 by Arles photographer Lucien Clergue, author Michel Tournier and historian Jean-Maurice Rouquette.
An international jury awarded Ciril, who comes from Slovenia, the Leica Oskar Barnack Newcomer Award, which celebrates “professional photographers whose unerring powers of observation capture and express the relationship between man and the environment in the most graphic form.”
Last year he was awarded a £3000 bursary by the Royal Photographic Society and The Photographic Angle to help his fund his trip to document this unique community’s existence in one of the world’s wildest places.
