Posted on May 20, 2023 | Leave a comment

It’s been an absolutely delightful week, first with the Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year awards’ ceremony, which took place at BAFTA on Piccadilly in London on May the 16th. This wonderful evening was followed by the exhibition’s opening at the Royal Photographic Society in Bristol, on May the 20th.

I’m thrilled to share that one of my images made it into the finals and received a Highly Commended award. My thanks to the judging panel, the organising team, the sponsors and partners.

The selected photograph was taken at a cafe, whilst visiting with a close friend. It illustrates how crucial it is to always have a camera to hand (smartphones don’t count in my opinion). When travelling super light, I always have my smallest camera with me; the very capable Lumix LX100m2, which has a great lens, fast aperture and good sensor, carried in a Bellroy Sling. So, ahead of tucking into the cakes and coffees we had bought, I just had to make a series of photographs, my favourite of which is the awarded recipient above.

As always, I shoot raw. The raw file was processed in Lightroom Classic on a Mac Pro, using a calibrated Eizo CG monitor. The monochrome finishing was done in Exposure Software’s X7.

Highly Commended, Travel Photographer Of The Year 2022

Posted on January 27, 2023 | 1 comment

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.


“Thankfully travel is returning after two years of disruptions and restrictions. With this photographers are back out in the field, whether this is in their own countries or around the world.
Below you will find this year’s stunning winning imagery from our very talented entrants.
Any of you who took part in our People’s Choice vote will already know that the standard of images from our finalists is high but also how hard it is to pick the winners! So, as ever, we are extremely grateful to our incredible judges for their expertise.
This year, we’ll be first exhibiting these images in May at the Royal Photographic Society as part of World Photography in Focus. 2023 is TPOTY’s 21st award and we hope you’ll share your images with us again.”
TPOTY FOUNDER, CHRIS COE

Highly Commended: Multimedia Section

Posted on July 1, 2013 | 6 comments

The Press Photographers’ Year 2013

The results of The Press Photographer’s Year 2013 were announced on 1st July, showcasing the very best press photography from 2011 & 2012 taken for and used by the UK news media.

Absolutely delighted and honoured to have had my work chosen by the judges of PPY 2013 (Press Photographers’ Year). I was fortunate to receive “Highly Commended” in the Multimedia section, for a project I shot on the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH) which was produced and edited by the very talented Neil Patience at TAP TV.

The video was shot over several months using Canon 5D MkII cameras and lenses, and edited by Neil Patience using FCP 7. For the multimedia piece, further photographs were taken using Leica M9 cameras and lenses, and the piece was re-edited by me using FCP X. All audio was recorded using Rode microphones; the VideoMic, VideoMic Pro and NTG-3. The film had it’s premiere screening at St James’s Palace.

“Now in its seventh year, the competition’s aim is to demonstrate that even in an age of rolling television news, internet and satellite communication, the traditional still image burns the keenest, fastest impression on the public conscience and is the most effective way to show the world the world as it really is.”

I’m also delighted that one of my photographs (“Love Your Job”) was also selected for the PPY exhibition at the National Theatre in London. It will be featured in “Features” section, joining the 150 images chosen from the just over 12,500 submitted by 390 photographers, from over 20 countries. All the winning images can be viewed on this slide show and details of the winners are also on this list. A full Press Release is also available.
