The 3rd Prize in the Dummy Award at the Hong Kong Photobook Festival goes to Chinese photographer Ting Bang Tsai for “Shui Dang Dang – Aunt Jin Yun.” The book centers on 72-year-old Kam Wan, a vibrant woman who once ran a dumpling shop and now works as a cleaner while caring for her mother-in-law. Proudly sharing sensual photos of herself at 40, Kam challenges beauty norms with confidence and joy. Her story questions modern aesthetic standards and celebrates self-expression, aging, and body positivity. – https://hkphotobookfest.org

Congratulations to Kuwaiti artist Saad Alsharrah, awarded 2nd Prize in the Dummy Award at the Hong Kong Photobook Festival. His project “Kaino E” is a poignant visual tribute to Kunihiko Kaino, one of the last Japanese hard-helmet pearl divers who migrated to Australia after WWII. Over the course of four years, Alsharrah spent extended periods with Kaino, documenting his life in Fremantle and his eventual return to Japan. The photobook interweaves family archives and personal photographs into a poetic narrative spanning Japan and Australia, honoring a vanishing tradition and a century of lived memories. – https://hkphotobookfest.org

British photographer Roz Doherty has won the 1st Prize in the Dummy Award at the Hong Kong Photobook Festival with her book “The Golden Age of Hijacking”. Between 1968 and 1972, the U.S. experienced over 130 plane hijackings – acts rooted in post-60s disillusionment and media-driven hysteria. Doherty blends original photos with archival material and psychological insights, notably those of David G. Hubbard, to explore the minds of desperate men who saw hijacking as their only path to redemption. – https://hkphotobookfest.org
