402 Lens Culture International Exposure Awards Portfolio Award 2009 goes to MARCO VERNASCHI http://www.lensculture.com/webloglc/mt_files/archives/2009/10/winners.html We're very excited to announce the winners of the first annual Lens Culture International Exposure Awards. The Portfolio Award goes to Italian photographer Marco Vernaschi, for his powerful project on the consequences of drug trafficking in the small West African country of Guinea-Bissau. His series presents a disturbing, visceral look at a country and people torn apart by the international drug trade, "where our fears meet the truth". 2 2009-10-16T05:59:33Z 0 2009-10-16T05:59:33Z false 30291 false 1771 2009-10-16T12:20:00Z Buenos aires true 2010-04-16T00:00:00Z false lens-culture-international-exposure-awards-2009 1 2009-10-16T12:20:00Z 15185
