Prix Pictet: Sebastião Salgado

The Prix Pictet is the world’s leading award for photography and sustainability. It was founded in 2008 by the Pictet Group with the goal of harnessing the power of photography to draw global attention to the critical issue of global sustainability. To date, there have been ten cycles of the award, each with its own theme highlighting a particular facet of sustainability.

For Photo London 2025, the Prix Pictet is collaborating with Polka Galerie, Paris, on a special display of platinum prints from the series Genesis by Sebastião Salgado, who has a long association with both the Prix Pictet and Photo London. Salgado was the first Photo London Master of Photography in 2015, and his Master of Photography exhibition featured a selection of these prints. An extended interview with Salgado is featured in the Prix Pictet Human publication, copies of which are available in space

The Prix Pictet will also instigate a series of conversations on photography and sustainability. Visitors gain unique insights from some of the world’s most exciting voices in the medium and have the opportunity to participate themselves in the conversation on sustainability.
