the tumults and joys of the world, by Alfred Yaghobzadeh, 2023 winner of the prize

photographer, a "stringer", who despite injuries and horrors
daily will always keep a big smile and a tender look on the
world around him. The book traces this journey, from his very first image in
1979 in Tehran, until 2023 and the conflict in Ukraine. In between, life
thrilling journey of a photographer traveling the planet to the rhythm of its upheavals,
from the harshest war zones to joyful revolts. Member of the agencies

magazines such as Time, Newsweek, Stern, Paris Match, El Pais and Geo; he is
