Happy to share that two of my monochrome images have received awards from the judges of the 17th Annual Black & White Spider Awards. Honorable Mention in Photojournalism | Extinction Rebellion Protest Blocks London Bridge and Honorable Mention in Portrait | Coal Miner Ian Turner. 6,438 entries were received from 69 countries and this work received a high percentage of votes overall, for which I am thankful to the judges for.

Both images were made using my Lumix G9, processed in LightRoom Classic and the monochrome treatment finished in Exposure Software’s X7, using a Mac Pro and Eizo CG calibrated screens. #bwspiderawards #spiderawards #photojournalism #pressphotography #portrait #portraitphotography #bw #monochrome #blackandwhite #awardwinning @lumix @lumixuk @lumixjapan @lumix_de @lumix_fotografia @lumix_france @lumixusa @lightroom @adobe @exposuresoftware #myexposureedit @thebppa @apple @eizouk @eizoeurope @eizo_global @eizocolour (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClismwYICdV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
