If you’re a fan of black and white photography, you’ll enjoy the photos from the Black and White Photo Awards 2022. The contest has just announced this year’s winners with the overall winner being Belgian photographer Johan Willems.
However, there are plenty more wonderful images among category winners and runner-ups. So, let’s check them out and enjoy the art of black and white photography.
The jury made its decision public on 19 August, coinciding with World Photography Day. Johan’s photo Cheetah with cubs brought him the title of 2022’s Absolute Winner, while Dusty Cooper won the special prize for creativity with his photo Levitate. “My photography and love for dance collide and I think my passion for both shows in my work,” Dusty commented.
