EDITORIAL AWARDS

2009 Editorial & Design Awards: Photography Spread

Winner: Travel + Leisure, ‘The New Delhi’

Photographer Frederic Lagrange gave visual testament to the theme of ambition in Travel + Leisure’s look at the up-and-coming Indian metropolis. Delhi is a city on the rise, self-consciously growing in significance worldwide and trying to look the part.

Juxtaposing the ancient textures and architecture with an emerging insistence among its thought leaders to embrace modern style, the images personalize Delhi. A woman in a Hermes skirt takes a vogue-ish turn in front of the Bara Gumbad tomb. Another model in a J. Crew top watches a young boy dash into the frame from a side street at night. A woman stands beside a passing subway car in a dress that carries both traditional iconography and a modern cut.

Lagrange captures in all of these photos a sense of self-confidence and determination among Delhi’s citizens. The hustle and bustle are there—in the images of daily commutes and blurred activity of the fashion district. But the fundamental theme of the city—to take its place on the world stage and assert its growing economic power—are in the eyes and faces of the portfolio’s people. This is that rare travel photo spread that locates and deepens the character of a place.
