From the report
Thomas Schlijper
The work of Thomas Schlijper caught the jury's attention due to its spontaneous and infectious engagement. It is news photography that is more playful than investigative; more impulsive and driven than scholarly.
Schlijper’s convincing visual quality reflects a socially critical attitude. He seems to posess the enthusiasm and drive to approach everything in a direct and disarming way.
