The Beaux-Arts Academy Photography Award was created by Academy member Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière in March 2007. This mid-career prize is designed to help finance a professional photographer’s current project. With no age limit, the prize is open to French or foreign candidates living in France whose project can be completed within the year in order to be exhibited the following year. It provides €15,000 and help with the exhibition.

After deliberations on September 28, the jury selected five finalists:

William Daniels, Jérômine Derigny,
 Françoise Huguier,
 Hélène Jayet
and Christopher Taylor.

Françoise Huguier was selected for her project: "Vertical /
Horizontal, Interior / Exterior. Singapore – Kuala Lumpur – Bangkok «
Middle classes » in Southeast Asia in the early 21st century ".
The project began one year ago in Singapore and is designed to include a close study of the middle class in three Southeast Asian capital cities.

“Why the middle class? Because makes up the majority and is
the cement of multicultural and multiethnic societies in these three
countries…” commented Françoise Huguier in her project presentation.
