Honorable Mention in Advertising | Baetylus
The groundbreaking Baetylus from Den’s Pens. It’s by far one of the most inventive, unique, creative and remarkable fountain pen designs. Custom made in black ebonite, with some facets polished and others in matte. Each Baetylus is even more unique, as each is entirely shaped by hand. The shape and feel, give it an organic presence, as if born from the earth. Photo: Edmond Terakopian. Lumix S1R and Sigma 105mm f2.8 Macro Art DG DN.
Nominee in People | Cooling Off At The Pub
The month of July would reach a new UK high of 40.3C being recorded at Coningsby in Lincolnshire on 19 July 2022. Scientists summise that the record breaking summer is a true sign of the changing climate. The Met Office states that “virtually impossible” without human-induced climate change. Meanwhile in London, the summer is enjoyed with joy by locals and visitors, as the change in climate causes London to have a hot summer. Cooling drinks after work at a pub in Shoreditch, London, UK.

Photographs were entered from 69 countries and it’s great to have a breadth of my work recognised by the judges, to whom I am thankful.
Three of the images were made using a Leica M10-D and three of the images were made using Lumix cameras (S1R and LX100 mkII). As always, all photographs were made in raw and processed in Adobe’s LightRoom Classic. The monochrome finishing was done in Exposure Software’s X7, using an Apple Mac Pro, with fully calibrated Eizo CG series monitors.
I’m absolutely thrilled to share that the judges of the 2022 Travel Photographer of the Year awards have given my photograph a ‘Highly Commended’ award! A huge thanks to the judging panel and organisers.
The photograph was awarded in the Mark of Mankind category and was made using my Lumix G9 and Leica DG 50-200mm f2.8-4.0 lens; very much a favourite combination of mine.
The raw file was processed in Adobe’s LightRoom Classic and finished in Exposure Software’s X7, on my Apple Mac Pro, using calibrated Eizo CG monitors.
Hope to see you in May 2023 where the pictures will first be exhibited at the Royal Photographic Society as part of World Photography in Focus.
