We’re very excited to announce the Genesis Imaging Award winner and highly commended photographer in the Shutterhub YEARBOOK 2021 awards!
Selected by Gabrielle Brooks from Genesis Imaging, the winner will receive a £1,000 bursary to use with Genesis Imaging, redeemable against print and finishing services, plus a mentorship with Genesis Imaging’s Mark Foxwell. See below for who we selected, with comments from Gabrielle on why these images resonated with her.
Winner: Hannah Norton
“There is an ambiguity in Hannah Norton’s work which draws the viewer in through colour-coded dots, thoughtfully scattered through the image. The image serves as a thoughtful meditation on the every day, a subject that has had new scrutiny during the Covid-19 pandemic.”
Highly commended: Christian Jago
“Christian Jago’s fantastical world offers transcendence to new plains and pure escapism from the everyday. The image is thoughtfully composed, dynamic and inviting – the perfect antidote to the reality of the pandemic.”
