Prix Noir et Blanc Sélection des rédacteurs – janvier 1970

Suite aux événements du mois dernier Prix de la photographie en noir et blanc—judged by American fine art photographer Monica Denevan—our editorial team is proud to shine a spotlight on the standout entries that narrowly missed the final shortlist.

The caliber of talent was truly exceptional across the board, and while these specific images just missed the final cut, they beautifully capture the enduring power of monochrome. Before diving into the gallery, we want to extend our warmest congratulations to these featured photographers, whose remarkable work deeply captivated our team. Swipe through to explore some of our favorite honorable mentions.

“Swing” - Dali, Yunnan province, China
In Dali, Yunnan, ethnic minority communities hold a traditional swing competition during a local festival. Smoke drifting from nearby spectators surrounded the figure in midair, creating the illusion of someone floating through clouds. The image captures a fleeting moment where tradition and atmosphere merge into something almost mythical. © Tommy Jiang
“Cultural Inheritance and Modern Aspirations” - Mongolie
Young nomad Ardabek, age 16, has harbored a deep passion for eagle hunting since early childhood. Yet now, standing at the threshold of adulthood, Ardabek faces an important choice.

“Scanno, un giorno d’estate.” - Italy
Scanno is a small village in the Abruzzo Apennines, known for attracting numerous world-renowned photographers. In recent decades, like other mountain villages, it has experienced significant depopulation, dropping from over 4,000 inhabitants in the 1950s to about 1,650 residents at the start of 2020 © Boris Ricci
“Circle of Strength” - Kolhapur, India
Captured at a traditional wrestling arena in Kolhapur, India, this photograph reveals the timeless spirit of Kushti, one of the country’s oldest forms of wrestling.

“Obsidian King” - Ngorongoro Crater National Park Tanzania
