Inspirational Analogue Photographer
of the Year

 

3rd, Jason Lee:
He’s fully immersed in the film community, even starting Film Photographic to create a new community of film photographers.”
His ability to give life to otherwise empty scenery”.

3rd, Michael Kenna:
Use of black and white and minimalism. His work is aspirational – within reach of any photographer.”
His ability to see beauty in the simplistic.”

2nd, Matt Day:
His health struggle, only to come back with his photo passion still strong, is very inspiring when I’m feeling lazy Matt shoots a lot around his hometown, his family and friends. I can really relate to the warm familiarity that he expresses through his work.

2nd, Eric Swanger:
Great work, great philosophies inspired me to make zines and buy a 4×5 camera”
“I love his prolific nature, we get to see a lot of his work. I think the thoughtfulness that he takes to his work, the ideas and feelings he expresses through it, inspire me to be more like that in what I shoot.”

2nd: James Moreton
His family pictures are anything but straight forward. There’s an eerie stillness that probably draws its influence from the foggy Antrim environment.”
“Wonderful bleak minimalist landscapes, and relentless darkroom work”

1: Anil Mistry.

“Both his dedication to film photography but also his inspirational outlook on life that is reflected in his work”
“Enthusiasm for projects and getting stuff done”
“His book Monochrome challenged me to think out of the box a bit more.”
“Quality of portrait work, prolific, “bedside manner” on the street.”
