Comment from the BPPA chair:
Now in its fourth year, The BPPA’s Press Photographer of the Year competition has once again delivered an abundance of outstanding images from the industry’s best photographers.
The broad range of this year’s entries shows that the best Press Photographers can turn their talents to any subject and still walk away with something fresh and engaging, the kind of images that jump off the pages of newspapers across the country and indeed the world.
It is very encouraging to see such high quality entries in the Young photographer category. A group of photographers that we will be watching closely over the coming years and expect to see taking home more trophies in the future.
Congratulations must go to all the category winners, but special congratulations to Oli who has shown himself to be a stand out winner and a very worthy recipient of this year’s title.
I’d like to thank everyone for entering, judging and to the team at The BPPA for their hard work to run this competition on behalf of press photographers.
Jamie Lorriman, Chair, The BPPA
