South African documentary photographer, Brent Stirton won the 2008 Visa d'Or Award for Feature photography at Visa pour l'Image in Perpignan, France on Friday night. It was another in a series of accolades for his acclaimed project on the slaughter of gorillas in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
In this interview with Photo District News, he also comes out as the photographer of Brangelina's twins. According to Stirton, "photojournalism is about education for change and [selling pics of the twins for upwards of $15 million] is about finance for change."
Have a listen to what else he has to say about it:
