10th anniversary of the Siena International Photo Awards
Last weekend the city of Siena and surrounding countryside welcomed an international troupe of photographers to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Siena International Photo Awards
The Siena Awards is an international festival including three photographic awards of excellence and a series of events and exhibitions with an unequalled sense of community. It is a globally recognised honour to be acknowledged alongside an incredible list of “Photographer of the Year” ‘alumni’.
I was honoured with the Siena Award’s Pangea prize of Photographer of the Year in 2019 for the photo “A boy from the crowd” taken for the conflict charity, International Alert.
Each winner of the Pangea Prize becomes an ambassador to building bridges between diverse cultures and promoting greater global understanding and harmony.
Thus, the prize is not just a recognition of the ability to tell stories that resonate with all of humanity, it is a symbol of hope and an invitation to continue using photography as a tool for connection and positive change. We are photographers who have the same aspirations of pushing forward the creative boundaries of photography and inspiring others to show the world what they see.
