Antonio Faccilongo (born 28 February 1979) is an Italian documentary photographer, filmmaker, and university photography professor at Rome University of Fine Arts.[1][2] Faccilongo won the World Press Photo Story of the Year in 2021.[3][4][5]

Career

Faccilongo started his career as news photographer at Il Messaggero, an Italian newspaper based in Rome. In 2008, he began to deal with stories of international interest and focused his attention on Asia and the Middle East, principally in Israel and Palestine, covering social, political and cultural issues.[6]

Faccilongo developed his long-term photography project Habibi to cover the complicated contemporary conflicts of the Israeli-Palestinian war.[7] According to Firstpost, the series "chronicles love stories set against the backdrop of one of the longest contemporary conflicts, the Israeli-Palestinian war. The story shows the impact of the conflict on Palestinian families and the difficulties they face in preserving their reproductive rights and human dignity."[8] He won the 2021 World Press Photo Story of the Year and first prize in Long-term projects category.[9][10][11] This work was featured in Verve magazine[12] and Vice.[13]

In 2016, Vice sent him to document the illegal narcotics trade in Gaza, writing that his work "imposes a socio-anthropological lens to explore escapism and suffering in the face of social malaise."[14]
