Spanish photographers receive major national and regional awards

Spanish photographers Vari Caramés and José Luis Jordano Palma have received prestigious photography honors.

Vari Caramés has been awarded the 2026 National Photography Prize by the Ministry of Culture. The award, which includes 30,000 euros, recognizes Caramés for his contribution to artistic photography and his ability to bring photography closer to pictorial abstraction through his use of reflections, blurs, and expressive possibilities.

José Luis Jordano Palma won the 2026 Luces de Granada International Image Prize in the Communion category. Organized by the Association of Photography and Image Professionals of Granada and its Province (AGRAFI), the award recognized Jordano for an intimate and expressive portrait of a child. He also received a nomination in the Wedding category for his black and white photography.
