Armenian photographer Anush Babajanyan has been named the winner of the 2023 Long-Term Project Award of the World Press Photo.
Her photos, entitled “Battered Waters,” about water scarcity in Central Asia for the VII Photo and the National Geographic Society won the aforesaid award.
"At the time I was beginning to photograph this project in Kazakhstan, it did not have a name and I had little idea how I was going to bring it together. But this mosaic in the Mirny village gave me a beginning I was looking for. It was a symbol of something lost," Babajanyan wrote on Instagram.
Anush Babajanyan is a photographer whose work focuses on social narratives and personal stories. She is a member of VII Photo Agency and is a National Geographic Explorer.
Babajanyan has photographed in Nagorno-Karabakh for over six years, compiling the photography in her book A Troubled Home. Alongside working in the South Caucasus region, Babajanyan photographs in Central Asia, where she has been working on environmental stories.
In 2019, she was the winner of the Canon Female Photojournalist Grant. Her photography has been published in The New York Times, The Washington Post, National Geographic, Foreign Policy Magazine, and other international publications.
