The Book … International Portrait Photographer of the Year …

Back in June I posted on this blog the news of the winners of ‘The 2021 International Portrait Photographer of the Year’ award and the selection of a couple of my portraits amongst them.

So now … arrived in the post this week  ‘The 2021 International Portrait Photographer of the Year’ book  … and very stoked to have three page entries in this great hard cover collection.

“Bonn Marie … Asking the Question” (left below) makes two appearances, one in the award ‘Winners’ section (a 3rd Place) and one in the main body of the book alongside my second portrait “Kate Yeoman – Waiting For Her New Breasts” (right below). 

‘The 2021 International Portrait Photographer of the Year’ is a classy quality book printed by Momento Pro in Sydney and contains all the award winners work and also includes the top 101 photographs. It’s a great collection of diverse portrait work from around the planet. You may order a copy if you fancy (two different sizes to choose from) by visiting the Momento wed site at … https://www.internationalportraitphotographer.com/…/awa…

Huge Thanks to my brilliant subjects  Bonn Marie and Kate    !

( Received a nice little trophy for Bonn’s pic too … bottom pic )

International Portrait Photographer of the Year … Wow !

Chuffed … !  The results are just in for the inaugural ‘The International Portrait Photographer of the Year’ awards … and two of my images are represented.

‘Bonn Marie – Asking the Question’ (below) has been selected as the winner of Third Place – The Character Study … and, very nicely includes the award of some cash and … rare this days … a trophy to whack in the ‘office’. It will also be showcased TWICE in the accompanying book ‘The Top 101 International Portrait Photographs of the Year’ … firstly in the ‘winners’ section  and then in the ‘Top 101’ portraits section.

Also selected in the ‘Top 101’ section of the book is my portrait of Kate Yeoman … ‘Kate – Waiting For Her New Breasts II’ (also below) … a slightly different version of the original newspaper published image. This version has Kate with her eyes closed and I now feel it evokes more emotion than the earlier pic.

‘The Top 101 International Portrait Photographs of the Year’ book will be available in hard cover and as an ebook in the very near future. Will post a link …

Both portraits (or very similar in Kate’s case) have featured in other earlier International and Australian award selections. Check ’em out on my ‘awards’ page here …

Here’s just a few of the other International sites that are featuring this award and my portrait of Bonn Marie …
