Such an honour to have one of my photographs exhibited in the Travel Photographer Of The Year outdoor exhibition at the Royal Photographic Society. The exhibition will continue until June 4th, 2023 and is located in the space between The Royal Photographic Society (RPS) and The Martin Parr Foundation.
My photograph was awarded a Highly Commended and made in Canary Wharf using a Lumix G9 and Leica DG 50-200mm lens. The image was made during a street photography workshop I was teaching last summer. Keep an eye out on my blog for details of the July 2023 workshop, which I will be hosting with my good friend Steve Simon.
This has been made even more special as I also have a second photograph at the Royal Photographic Society, in the Pink Lady Food Photographer Of The Year exhibition, on level 1. This is a career first! Images in two completely different exhibitions, at the same prestigious venue!
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
Immensely proud, excited, honoured and delighted to share that my portfolio of five portraits, are a finalist in the prestigious UK Picture Editors’ Guild Awards.
The portfolio is shortlisted in the DMGT Portrait Photographer of the Year category, alongside three folios from colleagues. My gratitude to the team of judges, made up of the UK’s picture editors for their stellar work.
Alongside the judged categories, there is also a public vote category. For the first time, photographs from the shortlisted finalists in the nine categories will be put to a public vote, so that you may choose your favourite, for the IMAGO Photograph of the Year. There is a prize of two tickets to New York, chosen at random from the public voters.
Once you have registered and confirmed your registration, you can access the voting page, you will see all selected entries, to vote. You can vote for one photograph only. If you like my highlighted portrait of the miner for the public vote, it is ID: 1105 in the DMGT Portrait Photographer of the Year section. The UK Picture Editors’ Guild will choose a name at random from those who voted and will receive two tickets to New York courtesy of Norse Atlantic Airways.
