Arles 2024 : Manuel Rivera-Ortiz Foundation : The Commitment : Tribute to Camille Lepage
On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the photographic prize awarded by the Manuel Rivera-Ortiz Foundation, we pay tribute to Camille Lepage, whose talent as a photojournalist remains engraved in our memories, despite her tragic death. Her unwavering commitment to bearing witness to the world’s often little-known realities deserves to be celebrated and honored.
It’s hard to believe that it’s already ten years that Camille Lepage has been killed. Through this commemoration, we remember her exceptional talent and dedication as a photojournalist, particularly in conflict zones such as the Central African Republic.
In 2014, Camille Lepage was awarded the Manuel Rivera-Ortiz Foundation’s first Award of Excellence, a well-deserved recognition of her work. Tragically, however, she did not have the opportunity to receive it in person. A ceremony was organized during the exhibition at Galerie Huit, where Maryvonne Lepage, Manuel Rivera-Ortiz and the mayor of Arles were present to pay tribute to Camille Lepage.
Today, as the world continues to face complex realities, we honor Camille Lepage’s commitment, courage and determination.
