The Press Photographer’s Year

The culmination of a brand new competition showcasing the best press photography of 2005, The Press Photographer’s Year proves once again that even in a world of instant communication, the traditional still image burns the keenest, fastest impression on the public conscience. Held in association with The British Press Photographers’ Association, which returns to the NT after 2004’s powerful and moving exhibition, Five Thousand Days.

On at the National Theatre, South Bank, London until 8th July 2006. Admission is free

Interesting....and thanks for the link. Some of the photos in there are amazing but I feel that a lot of them, including some first prize shots, are in there because they are news and not necessarily good photographs. I suppose a lot of it is right place, right time etc.

regards

Thanks for heads up. Soe impressive shots in there, especially taking into account the conditions some were taken in.

The Richard Austin shot for News does it for me.... just a shame a pack of dogs didn't encircle the rider & rip him to bits
