16th International Color Awards

One Honourable Mention & Eight Nominations

Absolutely thrilled to share that the 16th International Color Awards have honoured some of my work. It’s great to have my work judged alongside other photographers’ work from 72 countries, by a jury of international photography curators, editors and other professionals.

I received one win, as an Honorary Mention in the Silhouette category, for one of my street photography pictures. The photograph was made on the King’s Road in London, using my Leica M10-D and lovely 1970s Leica 50mm Summicron.

Nominee in Still Life | Namiki Lacquer Vermilion No.50 Fountain Pen
Forms of bygone written and printed communication, kept alive through a passion for a connection to history and a feel for the sensation of an exquisite writing instrument. The Namiki Lacquer Vermilion No.50 (often referred to as the Namiki Emperor) fountain pen. An ebonite body, with Roiro Urushi lacquer applied and finished by hand, resulting in each pen requiring many months to be made. An elegant and understated writing instrument of absolute excellence. It has a phenomenal No.50, 18k FM nib, showing an outline of Mount Fuji as well as the signature pentagon logo. London, UK. August 29, 2022. Photo: ©Edmond Terakopian. Lumix S1R and Sigma 105mm f2.8 Macro ART DG DN.

The still life photographs were made using a Benro geared head and tripod. Lighting was with PixaPro and Godox lights. As always, all photographs were shot in raw. The raw files were then processed in LightRoom Classic on my Mac Pro, using calibrated Eizo CG monitors and finished off in Exposure Software’s X7.
