The South African photographer Lindokuhle Sobekwa, whose experimental work has been praised for its “power and simplicity” and explores family ties, myth and post-apartheid life, has won the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation prize 2025. Sobekwa was awarded the £30,000 prize, one of the most prestigious in the industry, at the Photographers’ Gallery in London on Thursday for his work I Carry Her Photo With Me that focuses on the life and disappearance of his half-sister, Ziyanda.
