“We are elated to inform you that your spectacular image has proven itself to be a superlative symbol within the entirety of the photography industry”.
Absolutely thrilled to have received these comments from the international jury of the New York Photography Awards for 2023, after four of my photographs were awarded “Silver Winner”. A further four photographs were also recognised with “Honorable Mentions”. To have eight images picking up awards, from a set of ten images entered for the awards, has been more than delightful and brings some sweet news to see out the end of the year with.
All of the photographs were shot in raw and processed in Adobe’s LightRoom Classic on a Mac Pro, with calibrated Eizo CG screens. The images were then finished off in Exposure Software’s X7 plugin.
Interestingly, five of the awarded images were made during photography workshops which I was tutoring. One during a one to one bespoke street photography workshop and the rest on two summer street photography workshops, in conjunction with my good friend and colleague Steve Simon. Look out for details of our 2024 workshop!
My thanks to the judges and organisers of the NY Photography Awards. I’m more than absolutely delighted and it’s wonderful to have a breadth of work, covering photojournalism, street photography and high-end creative product photography recognised and awarded.
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.

It’s unbelievable that a year ago, we lost the wonderful Tom Stoddart. A great friend to those lucky to know him, an inspiration to photojournalists everywhere and a story teller to the world, through his thought provoking and moving work.
A selection of Tom’s photographs, 21 in all, have been carefully chosen from across more than 40-years of his unique work around the world and presents for the first time an opportunity to share a part of his legacy. Visit the specially set up Print Sales page on Tom’s website.
Each print is validated with a specially created Tom Stoddart Estate Archive certificate, embossed with his digital signature. It’s a unique opportunity to own a part of history, through this phenomenal archive of work.
Absolutely thrilled to share that three of my photographs have been shortlisted for the British Photography Awards 2022. The chosen images span my photojournalistic work as well as my creative product photography, specialising in writing instruments.
