The best of Chilean photojournalism

In this selection we take you to the winners of FOTOPRENSA 2021, many of whom have published in CAPTION.

In this 42nd version – an instance that since 1950 has brought together and disseminated the work of photojournalists – are recognized the photographs taken during 2019 and 2020, transcendent years that undoubtedly marked the history of our country. The photographs describe situations experienced in Chile and abroad through forty-five unique photographic works, grouped into nine categories, both in reportage and individual photography.
