Haruka Sakaguchi - Documentary Practice and Visual Journalism AwardHaruka Sakaguchi (b. 1990, Osaka, Japan) is a freelance photographer based in New York City. Her work explores themes of cultural memory and intergenerational trauma, often tracing overlooked histories through intimate portraiture and long-form documentary practice. Her projects have taken her around the world—from documenting atomic bomb survivors in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to photographing former incarcerees and descendants of America’s WWII concentration camps, to creating satirical portraits of Hollywood actors typecast in stereotypical roles. In recent years, she directed Loyal American, a short film produced in partnership with the National Geographic Society, expanding her storytelling into moving image. Haruka’s clients and collaborators include National Geographic, The New York Times, TIME Magazine, The New Yorker, Smithsonian Magazine, and The Washington Post, among many others. Her photographs have been exhibited internationally, including at the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo, Osservatorio Fondazione Prada in Milan, and Photoville in New York and Los Angeles. She is the recipient of the 2025 CENTER Socially Engaged Award, a 2023 National Geographic Storytelling Grant, a 2021 Duke Archive of Documentary Arts Collection Award, and the 2020 Newswomen’s Club of New York Front Page Award for Photo Essay. She was also recognized by Pictures of the Year International (POY) as a finalist in 2021. Through her documentary practice, Haruka seeks to honor lived experience while fostering dialogue about the legacies we carry forward.Betty Catroux - Image Icon AwardBetty Catroux was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to Carmen Saint and Elim O’Shaughnessy. She became the unique and everlasting muse of Yves Saint Laurent, whose work she inspired for decades. Celebrated by many of the most influential photographers of the twentieth century, Catroux remains one of fashion’s most iconic figures worldwide. She has been married throughout her life to French interior designer François Catroux, with whom she has two children, Maxime and Daphné.Image caption: Photograph by Steven Meisel © Steven MeiselCollier Schorr - Commercial and Editorial Photography AwardCollier Schorr (b. 1963, New York City, USA) Lives and works in New York, NY; Professor at Yale University. As part of the heady New York art world of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, Schorr’s early work mined the vernacular of postmodernism to create photographs that toe the line between documentary and fiction. Often using her subjects allegorically, Schorr’s work navigates the auspices of identity politics to ask beguiling questions about the nomenclature of selfhood. Her range of imagery: from atmospheric portraiture to hard glamour has been used in advertising campaigns for Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, Saint Laurent Paris, Comme Des Garcons, Hermes, and Bottega Veneta, to name a few. Ms. Schorr has exhibited widely in the United States and Europe and is represented by 303 Gallery in New York and Modern Art in London. Ms. Schorr’s work is also represented in many public collections including the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Jewish Museum, and the The Walker Art Center. As a consistent writer and art critic, her essays have also appeared in various museum catalogs and magazines. In the last few years Ms Schorr undertook to adapt Chantal Akerman’s seminal and personal film Je Tu Il Elle into a full length dance piece made specifically to be captured by video and published as a movement script. Ms. Schorr was appointed to the Yale faculty in 2003 and is currently senior critic in photography. Tarrah Krajnak - Photographic Art and New Media AwardTarrah Krajnak (b. 1979, Lima, Peru) is an artist working across photography, performance, and poetry. Krajnak lives and works in Los Angeles where she is an Associate Professor of Art at UCLA. She is currently a research fellow at the Wissenschaftkolleg zu Berlin. Krajnak is represented by Galerie Thomas Zander, Cologne/Paris. She is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Louis Roederer Discovery Award at Les Recontres d'Arles, a Lange-Taylor Prize from the Center for Documentary Studies, and a Howard Foundation Fellowship among other awards. She has published three books including El Jardín De Senderos Que Se Bifurcan (DAIS 2021), Master Rituals II: Weston's Nudes (TBW 2022) and RePose (FW Books 2023). Her work has been featured in Aperture, British Journal of Photography, The Eyes Journal, and European Photography.

Join us at ICP to celebrate 2026 Infinity Award Lifetime Achievement Winner Joel Meyerowitz with a special screening of the film Two Strangers Trying Not To Kill Each Other, which focuses on the lives of Meyerowitz and his wife Maggie as they navigate love, aging, and their creative process as artists. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Meyerowitz and ICP Creative Director David Campany.About the FilmLate in life, two strangers–Bronx-born photographer Joel Meyerowitz and British artist/writer Maggie Barrett–meet and fall in love. Growing old is not for the faint of heart, and Joel and Maggie must face the specter of the end of life. At the same time, they are working to stay together and learn the hard lessons from previous relationship failures. First-time documentary feature filmmakers Manon Ouimet and Jacob Perlmutter, themselves creative partners and photographers, deliver a profound and deeply felt exploration of life’s biggest questions. – Jaie Laplante About ICP Infinity AwardsSince 1985, the ICP Infinity Awards have recognized major contributions and emerging talent in the fields of photojournalism, art, fashion photography, and publishing.2026 HonoreesJoel Meyerowitz - Lifetime Achievement AwardHaruka Sakaguchi - Documentary Practice and Visual Journalism AwardsCollier Schorr - Commercial and Editorial Photography AwardTarrah Krajnak- Photographic Art and New Media Award About the SpeakersJoel Meyerowitz is a pioneer of color photography, Meyerowitz is an award-winning photographer whose work has appeared in over 350 exhibitions worldwide.
