Immensely proud, excited, honoured and delighted to share that my portfolio of five portraits, are a finalist in the prestigious UK Picture Editors’ Guild Awards.
The portfolio is shortlisted in the DMGT Portrait Photographer of the Year category, alongside three folios from colleagues. My gratitude to the team of judges, made up of the UK’s picture editors for their stellar work.
Alongside the judged categories, there is also a public vote category. For the first time, photographs from the shortlisted finalists in the nine categories will be put to a public vote, so that you may choose your favourite, for the IMAGO Photograph of the Year. There is a prize of two tickets to New York, chosen at random from the public voters.
Once you have registered and confirmed your registration, you can access the voting page, you will see all selected entries, to vote. You can vote for one photograph only. If you like my highlighted portrait of the miner for the public vote, it is ID: 1105 in the DMGT Portrait Photographer of the Year section. The UK Picture Editors’ Guild will choose a name at random from those who voted and will receive two tickets to New York courtesy of Norse Atlantic Airways.
All images were shot in raw and processed on an Apple Mac Pro using calibrated Eizo CG screens, with LightRoom Classic and finished in Exposure Software’s X7.
