Linka Anne Odom and Klaus Thymann win Getty Images Creative Grants
Photographer Linka Anne Odom and agency Good Pilot; and photographer Klaus Thymann and agency Mother London have been announced as the winners of this year’s Getty Images Creative Grants.
Chosen by a panel which included Jonny Bauer, head of strategy at marketing agency Droga5; Karl Heiselman, CEO of branding and design company Wolff Olins; and Nick Law, chief creative officer of creative agency R/GA, the winners will each receive $15,000 to help develop new imagery for a non-profit organisation they have chosen to support.
Project ‘Pathways’, by Odom and good Pilot, will see the pair aim to raise awareness around D-Foundation and recruit volunteers by creating pop-up exhibitions highlighting the charity’s work of providing medical care to vulnerable people in India.
‘Project Pressure’, by Thymann and Mother, will visually highlight global glacial history, with the photographer to travel to Nepal to take pictures of the Project Pressure team.
Andrew Saunders, senior vice president of creative at Getty Image, said: “Just like any organisation that wants to promote its products or services, nonprofits need compelling and original content to effectively advance their causes. We're sure that the recipients of the grants this year will deliver this for their work highlighted on glacial retreat and healthcare in developing regions.”
