WINNERS

Mr Hatami (The Flight Room)

  • Photographer
    Lee-Marie Sadek, France
  • Prize
    Silver Winner in Photojournalism/Photo Essay

Over four days, i spent some time with Iranian photographer Mr Hatami in his room at the Georges Pompidou hospital in Paris. He had a very difficult and revolting character and he seemed to be ending his life in a very sad and desolate way, but against all this, i was facing a brilliant photographer whose legacy will hopefully continue to survive, and it was the most beautiful gift for me to make these pictures of him before he leaves this world.
