Best street winner: Martin Amery
I was inspired to take this photograph while on Brian Lloyd Duckett’s West End photo walk, looking for subject connections within street scenes. I really liked the composition of the woman on her phone standing by the corner alleyway in her work uniform, and the relationship between the couple in the foreground – the woman looking at her phone with great interest and the man watching and waiting for her. I would like to give a massive thank you to Photography News and everyone involved in organising this year’s fantastic Photo 24 event – and to MPB for being such great sponsors”
Street photography is a challenging and increasingly popular subject. Plus, as most of us live in urban areas, it’s an easily accessible topic. In a city like London, there’s massive photographic potential, and you can approach the subject in many ways. A current trend is using strong light and contrast for graphic shots, or you might take the avenue of wandering around busy streets and markets, camera in hand, looking for the decisive moment. We saw entries of all types in this year’s contest, but well done to the winner and shortlisted entries shown here. WOMAN ON PHONE Panasonic Lumix G9 in aperture-priority AE mode with Leica 12-60mm f/2.8 lens at 27mm setting. Exposure of 1/60sec at f/5.6 and ISO 200
