| Elliott Erwitt |
A member of the World Photographic Academy, Erwitt, is recognised as a documentary and commercial photographer and has also been honoured with this year’s ICP Lifetime Achievement Award. His style of photography fairly reflects the work of Henri-Cartier Bresson, the father of photojournalism who coined the term “the decisive moment".
