Summary

Congratulations to Fabiola Ferrero, the laureate of the 12th edition Carmignac Photojournalism Award. 

PARIS, FRANCE- Venezuelan photographer Fabiola Ferrero has been awarded the 12th Carmignac Photojournalism Award by the Fondation Carmignac, which annually funds a 6-month photo report. Through photographs, videos, and archival images, Ferrero documented the disappearance of Venezuela's middle class. 

The democratic nation of Venezuela, which enjoyed prosperity in the 1960s and 1970s, is now struggling to recover from a political and economic crisis that has widened the inequality gap and destroyed the middle class. Ferrero compares Venezuela today with its opulent past.
 
Fabiola Ferrero's work will be exhibited at Réfectoire des Cordeliers in Paris from October 27, 2022 - November 22, 2022. The new work will be unveiled at Visa pour l'Image festival on September 1st at 9:30 PM (GMT).

Among her recognitions are the IngeMorath Award, 6Mois Photojournalism Award and the Getty Images Editorial Grant.
