Very happy to share that one of my photographs has been shortlisted in the Black & White Photo Contest by the judges of the reFocus Awards, in the portrait category. All shortlisted images are automatically entered into the People’s Vote Awards where the public can vote on their favourite images.
The portrait was made on assignment for the Irish Independent.
This image was shot on a Lumix S1 and Lumix S Pro 24-70mm f2.8 lens. The raw file was processed in LightRoom Classic, on an Apple Mac Studio with calibrated Eizo CG monitors.
Absolutely delighted to share the good news that the international group of judges from the IAA have chosen to generously award my work, in amongst entries from 45 countries, with one gold and eight silver winners’ awards.

Astonishingly, four of the nine photographs were made using the new Fujifilm GFX100RF which I had on loan to review (you can read my review on this blog).

“Photography has the power to bridge continents, cultures, and perspectives. This year’s submissions reveal how photographers transform everyday moments into universal stories. Photographers have shown us that perspective is limitless, capturing landscapes, moments, and emotions that invite reflection while inspiring imagination,” said Thomas Brandt, spokesperson of IAA.

The awarded work is a mixture of magazine assignments, personal work as well as photographs made during this summer’s Passionate Photographer London Street Photography Masterclass.

As always, the raw files were processed in Adobe’s LightRoom Classic, on my Mac Studio using a pair of calibrated Eizo CG276 monitors.
