Allard says of the event,
“The award was presented to me in Perpignan, France on the evening of September 6 by Cyril Droughet of Le Figaro, and Visa Pour L’Image director Jean-Francois Leroy on the stage at the festival founded by Leroy thirty years ago.⁣”

“The French have always seemed to appreciate my work and to receive such an award in one of my favorite towns in my favorite European country, was definitely a unique pleasure. I will truly treasure the award, one previously given to several of my photographer ⁣colleagues including Pascal Maitre, Michael “Nick” Nichols, and Sir Donald McCullin.⁣”

Obscura is excited to present Allard’s work in an upcoming exhibition in May 2020. Stay tuned for more information!
