Representin’ at the New York Photo Festival’s Photo Awards
Tuesday May 27th, 2008
May was a good month for our photographers to be recognized: 6 were winners in PDN’s Photo Annual, and an additional 4 were nominated for the inaugural New York Photo Festival’s Photo Awards!
Tanit, Aaron, Brett, and Francesco’s work was nominated out of 15,000 images. Some of the notable jury members included Elisabeth Biondi (The New Yorker), Frank Evers (director of VII), and photographer Lauren Greenfield.
Tanit Sakakini, Boston-based, was nominated in two categories: Personal work/fine art – Single and Editorial – Single:
Tanit’s editorial portrait of Norman Mailer, nominated in the NYC festival, was also a winner in the 2007 Communication Arts Photo Annual (see it in our previous blog entry).
Aaron Hobson, out of Montreal, was nominated for his fine art series of Cinemascapes:
I can’t show all of the series in this post, but you should see the rest of it here.
I had the pleasure of attending the award ceremony, and spending time with Aaron and his lovely wife Brandy. They’ve been traveling around the country, visiting Aaron’s work in a variety of art galleries.
St. Louis-based Brett Bell was recognized for his untitled fine art series whose subjects are “united through their common disregard for acceptance”:
You can check out the rest of the series on his website.
And to prevent us from getting hungry too early in this blog post, New York food photographer Francesco Tonelli’s work for the hard-bound quarterly food publication, Art Culinaire, paved the way for his Editorial – Single nomination:
Congrats again to our nominees!
