An important award for emerging talent in the field of fashion since 1998, the Prix Picto awards three prizes each year: the Grand Prix Picto de la Photographie de Mode with the support of Leica, the 19M de la Photographie des Métiers d'Arts, which includes Chanel's Métiers d'Art, and the Filippo Roversi prize with the support of photographer Paolo Roversi.

Each year, the Palais Galliera has the honour of hosting the award ceremony and offering the winners the opportunity to join its collection.

The winners of this 2022 edition are : 

► Christopher Barraja, First Award- Grand Prix Picto de la Photographie de Mode 2022

Christopher Barraja is a 25-year-old photographer born in Nice. He left to study architecture in Marseille at the age of 18 but, having spent too long in the sun, he decided to change his scenery by continuing his studies at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Up there, he developed his photographic practice, especially after a stroke at the age of 20, which made him more attentive to invisible things, allowing him to create a discussion with the inanimate objects around him. He went on exchange to New York where he discovered his fascination for fashion photography. Since then, he has tended towards fashion photography while keeping his personal practice. He finished the Arts Déco in 2020 with a book project, De Chlore et de Rosé. This work will be presented at the Villa Noailles this year, as part of the Hyères festival, of which he is one of the finalists.

► Antoine Henault, Third Award – Dotation Filippo Roversi 2022

Antoine Henault was born in Paris in the autumn of 1992 and grew up in the French countryside, hence a certain bucolic motif that permeates his photographs. His work keeps a trace of childhood, of its sweetness idealized by memory. Colour and the movements of the sun are joyful obsessions, subjects of a continual re-enchantment, offering the possibility of creating spaces that do not exist in reality. These contemplative portraits with meticulous compositions tell of the complicity between man and nature. He escapes into it and his gaze seems to be always searching for its horizon.
