The Martin Trophy 2024

Achievements & Recognition

As part of my growing exploration of photography as both artistic inquiry and personal reflection, I began submitting work to competitions in 2023. I was honoured to be awarded The Martin Trophy (Prints Category, 1st Prize) by the Field End Photographic Society (FEPS) for the 2023-2024 season.

This annual award - established in 1970 - is given to the photographer who achieves the highest overall score across a series of competitions throughout the year. For the prints category, I submitted ten works over five competitions, each reviewed and scored by independent judges.

Awarded Works:

'Canary Wharf Reflections' - March 2024

Judge: Jonathan Vaines

'The Arches of a Museum Staircase' - Jan 2024
Judge: Steven Galvin

'Entering the Zone' - Oct 2023
Judge: Rosemary Wilman

'Place of Worship' - Sept 2023
Judge: Kevin Day

In addition, I received a Highly Commended award in the Norma Bateman Rosebowl Award for the set subject 'From An Unusual Viewpoint':

for 'Still and Sun' - Nov 2023 (PDI competition)
Judge: Michael Lurie

What Judges Noticed (Coming Soon)

I'm excited to share the insightful comments I received from competition judges- little discoveries that felt like guided self-portraits in feedback form, as well as valuable technical guidance on what makes photography truly impactful. Stay tuned for their reflections, arriving here soon!

Limited Edition Prints

I’m delighted to offer fine art prints of my award-winning images from the competitions. Each print is carefully produced to reflect the intention behind the image - capturing its emotion, detail, light, and dimensionality that define my work.

If you’re interested in acquiring one or more prints, please visit the Prints page or get in touch directly.

Behind the Image: Members-Only Stories (Coming Soon)

Every image has a story - sometimes quiet, sometimes unexpected.

Behind the Image will be a members-only series where I share the thinking, moments, and decisions behind the photographs. Some are competition entries, others are quiet personal explorations.

If you'd like to hear when it launches (and get early access), join the waiting list below.

Thank you!
