The award is given to a photographer whose image and/or body of work made a substantial impact during the current year. The image above is the winning image, along with Addario’s other work in Ukraine.
“The war in Ukraine continues unabated, more than six months on. Innocent Ukrainian civilians are still being killed in their own homes and on the streets. Thousands are still being displaced daily. I hope the collective body of work by myself and my colleagues on the Ukraine war continues to shine a light on the ongoing atrocities; they should not be ignored,” Addario commented upon learning that she was the 2022 Lucie Impact Award recipient.
