Delighted to share that my fish seller in Hanoi image has been nominated for the Lens Culture Portrait Award 2020. Lens culture said: We’re delighted to announce 39 talented photographers as the winners, jurors’ picks and finalists of the LensCulture Portrait Awards. These remarkable photographers come from 16 countries on four continents, and their work reflects the dynamic range of contemporary portraiture being made around the world today.

In fact, this year, many of the winning images and series push well beyond the traditional boundaries of photographic portraiture to achieve unexpected results.

Highlights from this year’s winners include: family portraits that bring together 5 generations in one picture; collaborative portraits of vulnerable people who need to stay anonymous to protect their identities; conceptual self-portraits that question the sacrifices of trying to fit in to societal norms; pop-art portraits as political metaphor; fiction and alter egos; alternative process portraits; fringe groups who rumble in the forests; photos made on the road or in professional studios; fine art collages; as well as celebrations of pure beauty and light, and lots more.

We hope you discover some new sources of inspiration and contemplation, surprise and delight. Enjoy!
