These are the kind words the German Photographic Society uses to announce their decision: "With Peter Bialobrzeski, born in Wolfsburg in 1961, the DGPh is honouring one of the most high-profile and most highly committed photographers, who for almost 20 years has been continually describing and interpreting the world with his camera. The award also acknowledges an influential photography teacher and author, who has always analysed the theoretical aspects of photography and been a major trend setter in this field."
