Eurazeo boasts a prestigious collection of works by world-renowned photographers such as Sebastião Salgado, Georges Rousse, Nick Brandt, Mickael Kenna, etc., to which are added each year works by the winners of the annual Prize. Nearly 100 photographs make up the Eurazeo collection and adorn the walls of our offices in Paris, London and New York.
A recognized annual Award
In 2010, our support for creative photography took a new step forward with the creation of the Eurazeo Prize. Each year, the prize is awarded to a professional photographer based on a theme: "Racontez-nous des Histoires" ("Tell us stories"). In addition to a cash prize of 10,000 euros, the winner's work is exhibited in Paris. Run by a jury of renowned professionals, the Eurazeo. Prize covers all fields of photography and is open to photographers of all styles.
Eurazeo and photography is a commitment and a passion that has been growing for almost 20 years: thanks to the acquisition of original works, the creation of the Eurazeo Prize 15 years ago and the establishment of partnerships.

2025 Winner
Aglaé Bory is the winner of the 15th edition of the Photo Prize for her series “Ici Ailleurs”, (“Here Elsewhere”) produced in 2023 in Mulhouse, France. Her work was inspired by her encounters with young residents of the city, which is situated at the crossroads of several European borders. These portraits invite the viewer to contemplate and observe the progression of youth, full of promise and transformation. A graduate of ENSP Arles, Aglaé Bory has been awarded the Caritas Prize for Social Photography, as well as the Balzac Prize. Her work has been presented in numerous exhibitions and is part of various regional and national collections. She develops her personal work through creative residencies and institutional commissions. In 2022, she was one of the photographers selected for the BNF/Ministry of Culture's Grande commande Nationale, "Radioscopie de la France", in conjunction with L'Art en jeu, a documentary work on the artistic practices of young people. She has exhibited at the Jeu de Paume gallery, the “La Gacilly & Les Champs libres Festival” in Rennes, the National Library of France (BNF) and the Galerie du Jour Agnès b.
"The portrait, conceived as a space for observation, is a central choice here. In a contemporary regime of intensive image circulation, it allows us to pause our gaze and reintroduce time and relationships. It is not a question of freezing an identity, but of making a presence visible, in all its openness and incompleteness."
2025 Jury's Special Award
Exceptionally, the jury decided to award a Jury's “Coup de Coeur” Special Award to Marine Lanier and her series "Les Contrebandiers" (“The Smugglers”), which she is currently continuing in the Pyrenees. In this underground Europe of side roads, the mountains occupy a central place. Her images, photographed with a wide lens camera, alternate between portraits, fragments of nature and objects, in an atmospheric approach to the landscape. Born in 1981 in Valence, Marine Lanier is a graduate of the ENSP Arles. In 2024, she was an artist-in-residence at the Casa Velasquez in Madrid and, since 2025, she has been a member of the “Tendance floue” collective. She was awarded the 2025 Maison Ruinart Prize, Paris Photo, and has exhibited at the “Rencontres photographiques d'Arles”. Her works also form part of numerous public and private collections and institutions. In parallel with her photographic practice, she extends her work through writing and cinema.
2025 Employee’s Special Award
A “Coup de Coeur” among our employees, Stéphane Mahé's work is an inner journey, a series of images that unfold timeless, dreamlike scenes, where photography rediscovers the delicacy of 19th-century artists from the “Pictorialism” era. Place and time are irrelevant: the viewer interprets, invents and projects their own stories onto these familiar yet indeterminate landscapes.
Throughout his photographic career, Stéphane Mahé has moved towards an increasingly personal visual style, offering an open narrative. He collaborated with “Éditions de Juillet” and Arnaud Le Gouëfflec on the book “Terminus Saint-Malo”, part of the "Villes Mobiles" collection. In 2018, he presented the series "Somewhere" and a book of the same name. The book “Mood” was published in 2023 and was a finalist for the “Prix des Libraires”. Since then, the "Mood" series has continued its journey through various exhibitions.
