Wow! That wasn't expected.

Last night I received an email saying I'd been awarded 1st place in the 2024 Minimalist Photography Awards in the open category.

My series 'The Unseen Poem' that took over a year to produce was awarded by a panel of judges who are industry experts:

Ute Noll – Owner & Director of Uno Art Space

David Burdeny – Professional Photographer

Kathrin Koehler – Owner & Director of Immagis Gallery

Judith Peyrat – Director of Baudoin Lebon Gallery

Milad Safabakhsh – President of Minimalist Photography Awards

I'd like to thank the judges, but more than that, the other brilliant, creative and dedicated photographers who submitted their work this year - you are all amazing!
