Скачать или смотреть Prix Pictet 2023 - Looking at the winner's work

THIS VIDEO: Today I am going to look at this years winners of the Prix Pictet 2023. There is value in looking closely at why images win competitions. Judges have their own biases and so all competition judging is subjective. Also, various styles are in vogue at different times, so a great essay shot in a out-of-fashion style can sometimes miss out. We are definitely going through a very femininely orientated stage at the moment– so during the past decade - a lot of the work that wins competitions is created in a style that is soft and muted.
This competition is a big deal for photographers who are working in the sustainability and environmental arenas. Over 3000 photographers were nominated for the competition and the winner receives $109 000 dollars. This year’s theme was called Human - during the ten years that the competition has been active - they have had themes like water, space, fire and growth. This year the winner is Gauri Gill and she was selected from a shortlist of twelve photographers. I will take a closer look at the shortlisted work that stands out for me and discuss what the photographers have got right.
