LUCIE AWARDS

2025 CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF THE YEAR

The Lucie Awards (The Oscars of Photography) recognized Laura Wimer Jewell and Gabe Jewell as Creative Directors of the Year at their 2025 ceremony in Ostuni, Italy, for Jewell Studio’s work on the launch campaign for The Movement to Organize for Restaurant Equity (MORE). 

The 3-day event celebrated some of the world’s most iconic photographers, like Massimo Vitali, Martin Schoeller, Justine Evans, Cristina García Rodero, Adger Cowans, Philip Holsinger, and many others.

The weekend was filled with conversations about the importance of ethics in photojournalism, the role of the photographer as a witness, and the ability for the human eye to elevate images into art—a nourishing set of themes in a moment when all of us have the power to create, distribute, and interpret images at will.
