Representin’ at the New York Photo Festival’s Photo Awards

BY Wonderful Machine 27 May 2008
Intel, Published, Photographer Spotlight

May was a good month for our photographers to be recognized: 6 were winners in PDN’s Photo Annual, and an additional 4 were nominated for the inaugural New York Photo Festival’s Photo Awards!

Tanit, Aaron, Brett, and Francesco’s work was nominated out of 15,000 images. Some of the notable jury members included Elisabeth Biondi (The New Yorker), Frank Evers (director of VII), and photographer Lauren Greenfield.

Tanit Sakakini, Los Angeles-based, was nominated in two categories: Personal work/fine art – Single and Editorial – Single:

A photo of a family taking hands around the dinner table to pray by Tanit Sakakini.

Tanit’s editorial portrait of Norman Mailer, nominated in the NYC festival, was also a winner in the 2007 Communication Arts Photo Annual.

Aaron Hobson, out of Saranac Lake, NY, was nominated for his fine art series of Cinemascapes:

The rest of this interesting series can be found here.

We had the pleasure of attending the award ceremony and spending time with Aaron and his lovely wife Brandy. They’ve been traveling around the country, visiting Aaron’s work in a variety of art galleries.

St. Louis-based Brett Bell was recognized for his untitled fine art series whose subjects are “united through their common disregard for acceptance”:

A photo of a woman in her room, mostly colored pink, alongside a photo of a high school athlete holding several trophies in a rundown locker-room, both by Brett Bell.

And to prevent us from getting hungry too early in this blog post, New York food photographer Francesco Tonelli’s work for the hard-bound quarterly food publication, Art Culinaire, paved the way for his Editorial – Single nomination:

Congrats again to our nominees!
