Chantal Nedjib, an image consultant for photography, and Sophie Bernard, a photography journalist, have teamed up to write a practical guide to awards, residencies, scholarships and other professional awards dedicated to photography.

It is a user manual to decipher the rules and uses of awards in order to derive the greatest benefit and avoid pitfalls.

Why this book?

Seventy of them provided their insights and comments:
