Argentinean photographer Alejandro Chaskielberg has tonight, 27 April 2011, been announced as this year's winner of the illustrious L'Iris D'Or, the 2011 Sony World Photography Awards Photographer of the Year. Over 105,000 images were entered into the 2011 competition from 162 countries. Chaskielberg was presented with the award during the Sony World Photography Awards Gala ceremony at the Odeon Leicester Square. Previously held at Cannes' prestigious Palais des Festivals, this is the first year that the awards have been held in London.
Attending the gala award ceremony at the Odeon Leicester Square, Chairman of the 2011 Honorary Judging Committee Francis Hodgson said, "The judging process is never straightforward when comparisons are made between imagery of so many different types on such a wide range of subjects. Yet this year's panel of judges found no great difficulty in agreeing to honour the powerful work of Alejandro Chaskielberg's series High Tide. These carefully directed pictures tell solid truths - about toil and communality and marginal economic survival - in a splendidly allusive way."
