Gold In The European Photography Awards 2025

Extremely happy to share that my photograph, “Heavy Summer Rain”, has won Gold in the European Photography Awards! It was an award winner in the ‘Black & White Photography – Street’ category.

Many thanks to the team of international judges for choosing this image, from the thousands of entries, spanning 30 countries.

Interestingly, I made the image on the first day of our fourth annual Passionate Photographer Masterclass in London, which is dedicated to street photography!

The 102mp image, made on the Fujifilm GFX100RF (which I have reviewed), was processed in Adobe’s LightRoom Classic, with the Fujifilm Acros raw profile, on my Mac Studio using calibrated Eizo CG276 monitors.

As always, all the photographs were shot in raw and processed in Adobe’s Lightroom Classic, on either an Apple Mac Pro or Mac Studio, using calibrated Eizo CG276 monitors. In the commercial photography using lighting, I also always use a colour meter, to compensate for any colour temperature shifts brought forth by light diffusers and reflectors.
