Initiated in November 2012 by Aperture Foundation and Paris Photo, the awards celebrate the photobook’s contribution to the evolving narrative of photography with three major categories: First PhotoBook, PhotoBook of the Year, and Photography Catalogue of the Year.
This year’s shortlist selection was made by a jury comprising: Emilie Boone, art historian; Sonel Breslav, director of fairs and editions, Printed Matter; Darius Himes, international head of photographs, Christie’s; Lesley A. Martin, creative director, Aperture Foundation; and Jody Quon, director of photography, New York Magazine.
A final jury in Paris selected this year’s winners. The jury included Aurélien Arbet, founder and creative director, Études; Daniel Blaufuks, visual artist; Taous R. Dahmani, art historian and author; Fannie Escoulen, head of the photographic department, Ministry of Culture, France; and Tatyana Franck, former director, Photo Elysée.
