Color Photography Award Editors’ Picks of April 2026

Following last month’s color photography award, guest-judged by Jonathan Bertin, our editorial team is excited to highlight a selection of entries that made a lasting impression. Although these photographers weren’t named finalists, their work stood out for its exceptional artistry and the unique creative energy they brought to the competition.

These images offer a rich variety of narratives, each one elevated by a masterful approach to color that serves as a powerful source of inspiration. Together, they perfectly capture the expressive potential of the medium and remind us of the many ways color can be used to tell a compelling story.
