In the main,
photojournalists are a resourceful bunch and many are undeterred by the
so-called ‘crisis’ in journalism. This is especially true of freelancers who by
the very nature of their work are adept at finding ways to tell the stories
that are important to them, and to seek new ways to engage the public.

One of the most
exciting examples of this ingenuity is #dysturb, an initiative that sees large
black and white posters featuring a single image with caption and credit pasted

Inferno: Central African Republic
Marcus Bleasdale is the fifth recipient of the FotoEvidence Book Award.

Jan Garup: Somalia in Transition
Daniele Volpe: Guatemala - Ixil Genocide
Bleasdale, who is with VII Photo agency, shot this particular story over 18 months, but he has trained his camera on the long term crisis in CAR for more than 15 years. For his winning story he worked closely with Human Rights Watch travelling to areas that had not seen journalists or photographers for some months. His photographs provide evidence of atrocities that few outside the country had any knowledge and as such have become important factual documents. The FotoEvidence Book Award adds to a raft of international accolades Bleasdale has garnered in recent years. Inferno: Central African Republic gives light to an ongoing conflict that has caused and continues to cause, countless trauma for those living in its shadow.
