Maja Daniels rose above 721 applicants from 68 countries to win the first ever Contour by Getty Images Portrait Prize, the reward for which is a $10,000 grant and a month-long exhibition at the Polka Galerie in Paris.<\/p>\n

Maja’s winning series, titled \u2018Mady and Monette’, documented a pair of identical twin performers in their sixtiers as they travelled across the streets and stages of Paris.<\/p>\n

The judging panel for the prize included: Georges Mohammed-Ch\u00e9rif, founder and president of Buzzman; CEO of Polka Image Edouard Genestar; Jean-Jacques Naudet the Founder of La Lettre de la Photographie and Laurence Vecten, Director of Photography at Glamour. The panel was led by German fashion photographer Peter Lindbergh.<\/p>\n
