After joining France in 2018, he covered the yellow vest movement before continuing his work in Sudan, Ukraine, Turkey, Syria and Chad. When the Syrian regime fell in 2024, he returned to his native country, now sharing his life between Syria and France. His work has been published in Le Monde, The New York Times, The Guardian and The Washington Post. \u201cWorking in Sudan means being constantly monitored, constantly controlled. And when you get closer to the front, of course, it can be dangerous. But, to be honest, that doesn&rsquo;t mean much to me. The most important and most difficult thing is to do my job while ensuring that once I leave, no one will be in danger because of me, because of a photo,\u201d explains Abdulmonam Eassa, about his series awarded by the World Press Photo 2026 jury.<\/p>\n<p>Seven new complementary exhibitionsThe World Press Photo Montreal Expo will present seven new complementary exhibitions, including Jacques Nadeau in the spotlight!, Vivre, by photographer Claire Beaugrand-Champagne, And life goes on, by photographer Martin Chamberland, En dottill\u00e9, territories d&rsquo;humanit\u00e9, signed by 28 students from C\u00e9gep du Vieux Montr\u00e9al, as well as the finalist photos of the 21st edition of the Antoine-D\u00e9silets prize from the Professional Federation of Journalists (FPJQ).<\/p><div id=\"linit-121809812\" class=\"linit-dans-le-contenu linit-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8992136571741975\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px;\" \ndata-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8992136571741975\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"6185130430\"><\/ins> \n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jacques Nadeau in the headlines!The photographs of Jacques Nadeau in the headlines!, selected by his daughter Virginie and by the photographers Martin Tremblay and Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric S\u00e9guin, retrace significant events that marked the career of the late Jacques Nadeau and the evolution of Quebec for more than 40 years.Born in Quebec in 1953 and died in December 2025, Jacques Nadeau notably worked as a photographer at The Canadian Press before entering the daily newspaper Le Devoir in 1990.

Which Quebec?, Red Square and Photos Found.<\/p>\n<p>Living: Claire and Paule Beaugrand-Champagne in Southeast AsiaIn 1980, in a context of political and human upheavals in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, the photographer Claire Beaugrand-Champagne and her sister, the journalist Paule Beaugrand-Champagne, went to refugee camps in Thailand and Malaysia. For two months, they documented the lives of these people who fled persecution, violence and instability caused by the installation of new regimes. This crisis led to one of the largest population displacements of the 20th century. With these photos and the reports published over a week in La Presse in 1980, the Beaugrand-Champagne sisters bear witness to the reality experienced by these families waiting for a new start. More than 45 years later, the images comprising the Vivre exhibition constitute a testimony to this shared memory. Claire Beaugrand-Champagne is the first female professional press photographer in the history of Quebec. Exhibited in Quebec and abroad, collected by several museums, his work bears the mark of a deep social and human commitment. A prominent figure in Quebec journalism, his sister Paule Beaugrand-Champagne held important management positions at La Presse, Le Devoir, Journal de Montr\u00e9al, Radio-Canada, T\u00e9l\u00e9-Qu\u00e9bec and L\u2019nouvelle.

They transform photography into a meeting space, inviting us to take a fresh look at what connects us,\u201d observes Lou-Pascal Tremblay.<\/p>\n<p>The finalist photos for the 21st edition of the Antoine-Desilets prizeThe Professional Federation of Journalists of Quebec (FPJQ) has been awarding the Antoine-Desilets prize since 2005 to highlight the excellence of the work of press photographers working in the Quebec media.
