We all want to win awards but it is the quality of each award which is so important.
Sadly the Association of Photographers Awards no longer has the clout, partly because they only use one judge/ category which in my opinion is crazy. For example how can a vegetarian judge a raw steak in a food section? You need 4 to 5 judges for a fair balance.
My favourite award is the Fortnums Award for Photographer of the Year (& that’s not just because they have the best party!!). I won in 2020 and am on the Shortlist for 2024, one of 3 photographers selected. It would be a real honour to be the first photographer to win for the second time.
Talking about parties, The Pink Lady Food Photo Awards also have a fantastic evening and I’m delighted to be Shortlisted for that too!!
