Color Photography Award Editors’ Picks of April 2024

Following the results of our recent Color Photography Award, judged by world-renowned Spanish photographer Pia Riverola, we are thrilled to present a selection of entries that didn’t quite make it to the final round, but impressed us immensely with their strength, quality, and innovative interpretation of the theme.

From picturesque, painting-like landscapes, to vivid portraits and vibrant depictions of life across the globe, the submissions we received spanned a diverse array of styles and genres, offering a fascinating glimpse into the diverse tapestry of contemporary color photography. While we couldn’t recognize every participant, we are privileged to spotlight the work of a few extraordinary artists whose images we believe are well worthy of exposure.

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the participants for sharing their remarkable work with us.

Published May 13, 2024 - Congratulations to all selected artists: Yosh Hase, Rujipart Thaveelabtanachok, Barry Crosthwaite, Martin Broen, Justina Reinhart, Thaddaus Biberauer, Val Juma, Jennifer Esseiva, Diana Barthauer, Martina Holmberg, Agnieszka Trzoch, Stuart Chape, Alex Othwnos, Alex Stoll, Julia Wimmerlin,
