British Life Photography Awards Portfolio Out Now

Last night I was proudly able to hand out copies to the winners, runners-up and highly-commended photographers who feature in the inaugural British Life Photography Awards Portfolio, and to congratulate the winners on their beautiful, revealing & interesting portrait of Britain.
Ilex has been a partner of the British Life Photography Awards since the start, and in fact I acted as one of the judges – an incredibly difficult task, I can assure you, sifting through thousands of entries in Maggie Gowan’s ingeniously devised categories. Those categories now form the chapters of the hardback book, printed in the UK and available for just £20 at all good retailers (including Amazon).

The event was held at the Mall Galleries (just down the street from the Queen’s house 😉 ), and the show will be on all week just round the corner from Trafalgar Square, so if you’re in London why not pop along and take a look?

Winners were not only able to take away their ilex books, but prizes from completion-sponsor Sony. Indeed the moment before the awarding the prize-bags looked shinier than the baubles handed out in Hollywood…
