| Felix von der Osten-Undergraduate Series Winner (2015) "The Breakthrough award was the beginning of quite a journey for my project. After I won, the project was quickly picked up by a lot of photography magazines and websites. It set the foundation to me being named an Emerging Photographer by PDN, my project being shown at Delhi Photo Festival and helped get me into the Eddie Adams Workshop." |
