An Argentinian photographer who began his career on local papers last night picked up one of his art form's leading awards for a portfolio of pictures he took while living with islanders in the Paraná river delta, Argentina.
Alejandro Chaskielberg's dramatically luminous images of a community going about their daily lives won him photographer of the year – known as L'Iris D'Or – at the Sony World Photography Awards, presented last night at a gala ceremony at the Odeon Leicester Square in London.
Chaskielberg, 34, spent two years with the islanders, immersing himself in their daily lives and taking photographs of precisely staged scenes at night. The chairman of this year's judges, critic Francis Hodgson, said of Chaskielberg's High Tide series: "These carefully directed pictures tell solid truths – about toil and community and marginal survival – in a splendidly allusive way."
