The winners of the ALEX STREET PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS 2024
We have already the winners, guys
2024 WINNERS
1 PLACE: GIUSEPPE CAGNETTA
Different layers in a shot where the details make the difference, the richness of perfectly set elements make this photograph the winner of this year's edition of the awards. I wanted to reward the skill in giving us a photo that has at least 3 photographs inside.
2 PLACE: THE BLACKMAN ARMED WITH A CAMERA
Start getting used to it because these awards are different and do not speak the same language as festivals and other awards dedicated to street photography. Street photography should stop being seen as a type of photography dedicated only to pleasant things, to formally captivating photographs, in short, those photos that receive applause on Instagram. Do we consider Boogie a street photographer or no? If I decided to award this photograph it is because I believe it is a very good photograph. In addition to this, I want to define my awards, so that they reflect my ideas on street photography which can be an opportunity to describe the street in all its facets. The street is a place where everything exists, from funny situations to tragedies. It seems to me that in recent years everything is cloaked in cloying do-goodism. This photograph derserves this space here.
3 PLACE: PETER SUSSEX
Third post for a photograph that refers to different times of street photography, let's say pre-explosion of the genre. That's why I'm awarding it here. For this award they asked me several times what it is that I'm looking for. The answer is simple: good photography that does not respond to prevailing trends and certain tricks that allow the same ones to win and always make them win. I want real new people who propose their own vision. The good thing to make an award like this is exactly that I am not responding to anyone and there is anot a pool of judges: it is just alex street selecting the winners independently and with intellectual honesty to reward only the photo.
Congratulations to the winners of this edition. Soon I will contact them to give them the prizes. The edition 2025 will be active soon.
Thanks to all the participants who submit their work. alex street will work to offer more for the 2025 edition, with the hope to find a sponsor and giving more things to the participants.
