Lots of great photos from the Lucies last week (scroll down for those), and some great news, to boot: “Engaged Observers: Documentary Photography since the ’60s”—the record-breaking exhibition at the Getty featuring the work of our own Lauren Greenfield, among other important photographers—won an award for Curator/Exhibition of the Year. Congratulations to the photographers and to curator Brett Abbott! (Read my interview with Brett here.)
Among the nominees at the event, which are like the photo world’s version of the Oscars, minus the choreographed dance numbers, were Roxanne Lowit (an IPA nominee for her book Backstage Dior) and Nadav Kander, who was nominated in the Print Advertising Campaign of the Year category for a Hyundai campaign featuring stock images that agency Innocean purchased from Stockland Martel Archives.
