It has been quite a week for Nadav. On Monday at the Lucies, the IPA named him International Photographer of the Year in the editorial category. And yesterday, at the Passage de Retz in Paris, Kofi Annan announced that Nadav is the winner of the prestigious Prix Pictet. Congratulations, Nadav! We’re chuffed, to say the least.

The 60,000£ prize honors works that deal with sustainable development and the environment. Nadav was selected for “Yangtze, The Long River Series, 2006–07,” which centers on the effects of economic development on the communities along China’s  Yangtze River. If you’d like to see more, pop over to the blog for the photo mag 1000 Words Photography. Earlier this year, they published part of his series, along with an essay by Nadav.

This morning, Zoe, Nadav’s studio manager, sent me a couple of clips from today’s papers in London, including the Financial Times
