"As a child, Khashayar Javanmardi counted down the days until he would go to the Caspian Sea to enjoy endless swimming. As a teenager, his first choice for a solo trip was immediately this beautiful blue sea. Later, all his romantic memories took place on the Caspian shorelines. Today, after years of living next to it, watching its gradual destruction and pollution makes him long for its future and past."
Extract from Khashayar Javanmardi – See the Caspian, Editions Photo Elysée, 2023.
The result of a partnership between Photo Elysée and Parmigiani Fleurier, the Prix Elysée is an award that supports production in the field of photography.
