![More recognition for Getty Images Grant winner Liz Hingley’s fantastic project The Jones Family. Congrats Liz!

British photographer Liz Hingley has been awarded the 2012 Prix Virginia for The Jones Family, a series of photographs depicting poverty and deprivation in the UK
The Prix Virginia is an international award dedicated to women photographers, which recognises the importance of their work in an industry often dominated by men.
“I generally feel lucky as a woman photographer to be appreciated as the minority,” Liz Hingley tells BJP. “[Women are] under-represented, yes – but we are strong. I never feel hindered as a woman photographer.”
The young photographer was selected almost unanimously – receiving seven out of eight votes – by a jury that included, among others, The Sunday Times Magazine’s photo editor, Monica Allende, curator Christian Caujolle, Agnès Sire of the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation, and Lucy Conticello of Le Monde’s magazine M.
“It is particularly exciting to be the first to win the prize. This is a new body of work for me, which has yet to be published, and I am still unsure about the final editing, so it is wonderful and inspiring to have such positive feedback.”](http://24.media.tumblr.com/17749532399eb3358c7cd8be02b9174d/tumblr_metaljxBgE1qbluuho1_500.jpg)

“Inside the Flock”
Getty Images Editorial Grant winner Paolo Marchetti has been documenting the rise of fascist groups in Europe, an inherently difficult subject to penetrate. Gaining access to the groups required patience and trust.
“It wasn’t easy to build a relationship with them,” he says of his subjects. “I started to meet them without my camera for more or less two months, to let them to know me, to understand my intentions, to smell me, to test my targets, my personality.”
This, he says, was the key to allow him to go “inside the flock.”
“I learned a lot,” he says. “The distance. The human, the mental distance, and the photographic as well … It is a huge lesson about an anthropologic factor that we need to mind.”

Bharat Choudharay, Kosuke Okahara, Sebastian Liste, and Paolo Marchetti have each won a $20,000 Getty Images Grant for Editorial Photography. Congratulations to all! To see more images and read about their projects please visit our Grants website.
Please also see Time Lightbox and British Journal of Photography for some great articles and interviews with the winners.
Walter Astrada, winner of a 2011 Getty Images Editorial Grant, has been documenting violence against women since 2006. In his latest set of photos he turns his eye to Norway, a wealthy and generally peaceful country that nonetheless has many of the same problems as his previous subjects (Guatemala, Congo, & India).

In every country in the world, women are being abused, trafficked, bartered, sold, burned by fire and acid and killed, sometimes by their own families, for “honor” or anger.
The Alexia Foundation, recognizing that most of the time abuse of women in the United States is hidden, rationalized, ignored, and sometimes worst of all, quietly accepted by the women being abused, has created a grant to provide resources for a photojournalist to produce a project that illuminates any form of abuse of women in the United States but with global significance.
The Alexia Foundation’s main purpose is to encourage and help photojournalists create stories that drive change. While our traditional grant guidelines put no limits on the subject matter for grant proposals, a few proposals about women’s rights in the last few years have been so powerful that they have compelled the Foundation to create a grant specifically on the issue of women’s abuse. Because this issue is so shocking and deplorable – but continues partly because it is so often unseen or ignored – the Foundation will provide a $25,000 grant so a project can be produced that will illuminate the horrors of what is happening, often invisibly in our own communities.
Getty Images Senior Photo Editor Jamie Penney talks about what it’s like managing the Getty Images Grants for Editorial Photography, and what winners usually have in common.
