Shot of the Year 2022 Winners

Every month we choose one photo from our students as our ‘Shot of the month’. This is based on the amount of engagement their photo gets, together with our judgment here at The School of Photography. Having put all of these shots together, we then have a final ‘Shot of the Year’ vote, and the results are in!

We added all the pictures to our Instagram feed and created a Facebook Gallery showcasing all the photos. We then asked you, our members, viewers and readers, to scroll through and show some love to the pictures you felt were most deserving of ‘Shot of the Year’.

We had some incredible submissions last year, but of course there can only be two winners

The Prizes

There were two prizes up for grabs:

The People’s Vote
Whichever photo gets the most likes in total will win the peoples vote.

Congratulations to Julie Yates!
Taken on a wet day in Scotland, Julie told us that she can never resist a Kingfisher and this beautiful little guy certainly brightened up her day! A truly fantastic action shot, and it seems you all agree as Julie received an outstanding amount of votes. Well done Julie, we will be in touch shortly to arrange your prizes!

WINNER - TSOP’S VOTE

We loved this response from Miranda to that month’s assignment theme of minimalism. Miranda said “I wanted to create a minimalism portrait. My son helped me out with this assignment. I added a B&W filter in PS and then used a curve adjustment layer for the balloon. ISO100 90mm f/5.6 1/80sec. I really wanted my image to have a "clinical" feeling.”

A huge congratulations to you, Miranda! We will be in touch shortly to arrange your prizes.

Well done again to both our winners. The competition in 2022 brought some excellent pictures and well done to all that submitted their photos. We look forward to seeing what 2023 brings.
