Discover the Stunning Photos from the Winners of All About Photo Awards 2024: The Mind’s Eye
All About Photo is delighted to announce this year’s winners of All About Photo Awards 2024, recognizing the best single images from photographers around the world.
Visionary photographers from around the world, both professional and amateur, shared their unique perspectives and competed for international recognition as the next Photographer of the Year, $10,000 in cash prizes and publication in the printed magazine “Special Edition All About Photo Awards 2024’.
A panel of 6 expert jurors, including Clare Freestone, Curator Photography Department National Portrait Gallery, London UK; Ann Jastrab Executive Director, Center for Photographic Art, Carmel, CA; Klavdij Sluban,Photographer, Founder Le Masterclass; Dewi Lewis Publisher, Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society; Priyo Widdi, Photographer, Winner All About Photo Awards 2023 and Sandrine Hermand-Grisel Photographer, Founder & Editor of All About Photo, have evaluated thousands of entries from all over the world..
Now in its 9th year, All About Photo Awards — The Mind’s Eye has become a reference for discovering new talents and celebrating outstanding photographers. The jurors selected 48 winners who come from 22 different countries and across 3 continents.
Most of this year’s submissions were in color, but two in the top five are nevertheless in black and white. It is also notable that only 11 women are amongst the 48 winners, yet they take the top two places. Many submitted images to this year’s competition reflected on the catastrophic events happening in the world, including wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, but also an impressive number of images showing how the world is polluted and urgently needs our care. This final selection is a mix of powerful heartbreaking images alongside more light-hearted ones. Overall, this year’s selection emphasizes strong aesthetics and storytelling..
In ‘’The Mind’s Eye: Writings on Photography and Photographers,’’ Henri Cartier-Bresson emphasizes how photographers engage with subjects on the brink of disappearance, highlighting the irreplaceable nature of these captured instants. The five top winning images aptly echo Cartier-Bresson’s sentiment, showcasing their mastery in seizing and preserving fleeting moments through photography.
