Danish Siddiqui, Three Other Reuters Photographers Win Pulitzers For Their Coverage Of India’s Covid Crisis

Reuters photographers Adnan Abidi, Sanna Irshad Mattoo, Amit Dave and the late Danish Siddiqui won the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for feature photography on Monday for their coverage of the coronavirus crisis in India.

Siddiqui, an award-winning photojournalist working for Reuters was killed on duty in Kandahar, Afghanistan in July last year. Siddiqui was embedded with the Afghan Special Forces covering the conflict in the country.

The jury said that the prize was awarded to the four photographers for their images of the crisis that “balanced intimacy and devastation, while offering viewers a heightened sense of place”.

This is Abidi’s third Pulitzer. Siddiqui had also won the prize before, in 2018.

Reuters Editor-in-Chief Alessandra Galloni said that the world was “jolted awake” to the scale of India’s Covid-19 outbreak after the news agency’s photographers documented it.

“To have Danish’s incredible work honoured in this way is a tribute to the enduring mark he has left on the world of photojournalism,” Galloni said in a statement.
