CAFUNÉ by Rafael Fabres – URBAN Book Award 2023 Winner

The URBAN Photo Awards 2023 juror of Kadir van Lohuizen has personally selected the winner for the Book Award Rafael Fabres with his book CAFUNÉ.

“It’s not easy to work in Rio de Janeiro, which can be very violent at times and as a photographer you can be vulnerable at those moments. That makes the work of Rafael special, his intimate and poetic images shows he is capable of winning the trust of people. It’s a beautiful mix of daily life and the hardcore economic and political realities (the work was shot during the Bolsanaro presidency) in Brazil. He has developed a strong signature and therefore deserves the award.”
