UK's Best Photographer 2009

After my last update on my progress in the UK's Best Photographer 2009 competition a lot has happened! Yesterday the new issue of Photography Monthly hit the shelves featuring the photos from the Semi Finals that I mentioned a couple of blog entries ago. The brief for the challenge was simply "My Hometown" which left it massively open ended, in the end I went for a blend of photojournalism and pure artistry to portray the city of Cardiff.


But since then, the finals for the competition have been and gone. I have to say a big congratulations to Lee Peters on winning the title, you produced some incredible images. Myself and Richard Crompton were runners up in the competition, each netting ourselves a Nikon Coolpix P6000... Which I saw as a good opportunity to go and buy another Crumpler case. I love those things perhaps a little too much!

I'd also like to say a massive thanks to Sian "isonfire" Lewis and Frazer Meek for helping out with the photos for the semi-finals, you guys rule!
