Local photographer awarded photography accolade ‘Portrait Avant Garde Photographer of the Year 2016’
Derek Adams from Stansfield was awarded the prestigious award of ‘Portrait Avant Garde Photographer of the Year’ from The Societies of Photographers.  The Societies of Photographers is Europe’s largest all-welcome association for the serious photographer.

Over 10,468 images were entered in to the competition and photographers from all around the globe have been putting forward their images making this a truly international competition. The award was revealed at The Societies’ Convention Awards Dinner held on the 14th of January in London.
The Judges said of Derek’s winning shot that they “felt that the ghostly apparition is innovative, drawing you in to the image and telling a story.”

Phil Jones, The Societies of Photographers’ CEO says, “This year we have seen a fantastic range of images and the standard has been very high. The finalist represent some of the finest images entered in to the competition and have competed against some of the world’s best photographers.”

Derek Adams says – “I was thrilled that my photograph was nominated for this award and could not really believe it when I found out it had won. I combined and blended two separate images in Photoshop, one of a woman wearing an antique nightdress and one of a derelict building to produce a hauntingly gothic ghost portrait.”
