On Monday, Columbia University announced the Pulitzer Prize in Feature Photography to Amit Dave. Dave is a senior photojournalist for Reuters in Gujarat. His breaking news photography showcasing the unfathomable COVID pandemic in India won him the Pulitzer award. 

Amit Dave’s poignant image of a brick kiln worker during Covid-19 exhibited cohered intimacy and tragedy of the pandemic. The picture portrays a healthcare worker checking a woman’s temperature inside her hut. Dave clicked the photograph during a coronavirus vaccination drive for brick kiln workers of Kavitha village on the outskirts of Ahmedabad. Moreover, the woman’s face remains covered with a veil of her saree as she gets her temperature checked.
