A BIG congratulations to Claire Martin, whose series Slab City was recently featured on Light Journeys. Claire has won the Inge Morath and Magnum Foundation grant for female photographers under the age of 30.

The annual Inge Morath Award is given to a woman photographer under thirty years of age, to assist in the completion of a long term documentary project. The winner and finalists are selected by the photographer members of Magnum Photos, and a representative of the Morath Foundation, at the Magnum annual meeting. It is the only award that carries the imprimatur of Magnum Photos, bringing great prestige to those selected as winners and finalists.

We look forward to seeing new work by Claire in the future.
