Prix Pictet 2012. Saatchy Gallery, London and Bernheim Fine art Photography.
The aim of the Prix Pictet, now in its fourth year, is to use Photography to raise awareness on environment emergency and social challenges posed by the new millennium.
In addition, each year it's choosed a photographer outside the reward, for a mission in difficult places or situations where the Swiss bank has already decided to provide financial assistance to improve the conditions of human life and the earth.
This year the theme is the power in all its facets.
The 2012 winner is the French photographer Luc Delahaye, former member of the Magnum photo agency.
The photographs have been exposed at the Saatchy Gallery in London and now they are at the Bernheim Fine art Photography till 8th november 2012.

Art of the San Vittore prisoners
"UOMINI DENTRO"
In Milan, at the San Fedele Gallery, we can admire the photographs of some men and women detained inside the San Vittore's prison.
Three young photographers (Gloria Pasotti, Filippo Messina and Carolina Farina) from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, have teached to the prisoners how to use the photo camera, so they can find a bit of humanity by their own.

Jeff Mermelstein
JEFF MERMELSTEIN is a great street photographer (a streepher) that began his carrer
in 1981 after completing and internship in Photography at the International
Center of Photography in New York .
He combined
personal photographs with assignment work, infact his work appeared
in journals like Life Magazine, The New Yorker and Aperture; then he has worked for Adidas too.
In a video documentary about him, he said that he should go to the war zones, for example Gaza, but maybe he's not so brave to go there, so he prefers to shoot in the great New York City where he can always find strange people and things that seems to live for his eyes only.
His awards
are the 1991 Aaron Siskind Foundation Individual Photographer’s Fellowship and
the European Publishers Award for Photography in 1999.
His most
famous book is titled Sidewalk and You can find it on Amazon.
In the website Public-Life, there's a video interview for 'Media Matters'.
What is Photography?
Welcome to this new blog about Photography.
What is Photography for us? It's not an art and it's not even a way to document the life, it's a thing in the middle of those things. It's a strange thing: pressing a button You can memorize the life You're looking at!
However.. this blog is about all the great photographers that change our way of look, the great exhibitions and some of the new machines that You can buy.
