LWFP (Leica Women Foto Project) award recipients announced

By LR admin | Published: October 16, 2019

LWFP award recipients announced – from over 600 submissions across the US, photographers Debi Cornwall, Yana Paskova and Eva Woolridge were selected by a prestigious panel of judges in the photography, art and entertainment industries to each receive $10,000 and a Leica Q2 to pursue a personal project that tells a story through the female viewpoint.

Debi Cornwall was chosen for her series Necessary Fictions, which explores the staging and performance of American power in immersive, realistic military wargames.
Yana Paskova, chosen for her series Where Women Rule, uses her experience as a political asylum immigrant to find a way to bridge humans’ understanding of each other.
Eva Woolridge brings her personal experiences to life in her project The Size of a Grapefruit, an artistic interpretation of Woolridge’s medically traumatic experiences following her diagnosis of a dermoid cyst – the size of a grapefruit – and consequential removal of her right ovary, which she believes could have been saved had medical professionals taken swifter action following their early conversations.
