Óscar Monzón's KARMA has won the First PhotoBook Award in this year's PhotoBook Awards organised by Paris Photo and Aperture.The announcement was made at Paris Photo earlier today.

KARMA, published by RVB Books, is the culmination of images Monzón took in Madrid between 2009 and 2013 of people in their cars.

In the project, Monzón, who was featured in BJP November 2012, photographed people snorting cocaine and arguing, amongst other private moments, to explore the notion of public and private space, specifically drivers' relationships to their cars.
