The Winners of the 2008 Young Photographers Competition.
Every year shots publishes a unique resource of creative talent: invaluable information certainly but, by no stretch of the imagination, also visually stunning.
Initially a number of young, unknown photographers were sought out and invited to submit work to illustrate the shots Directory, and provide a cover. But, for the past two years, this has developed into what has become an international competition for graduating photography students to present their work to a captive audience of creatives worldwide.
Entrants are invited to submit a sequence of work to a set theme: a theme that does not discriminate against landscape or portrait photographers, abstract artists or photojournalists.
This year the theme is ‘Chapter 3…’ – implying an ongoing narrative that is captured before any resolution is reached: a poignant, suspenseful, pregnant moment – which our winners here have interpreted in totally different, and always original and arresting ways.
