There some truly haunting images there and the photo of the year is a great picture even if morbid. However, overall the selection leaves me baffled. It's journalistic competition, so getting the news out is sometimes more important than artistic merits, but I would expect at least the winners to tell the story on their own and have some aesthetic qualities to them. With that in mind the overall level looks unimpressive to me, and some of the winners are truly of WTF variety. For example this : 2013, Daily Life, 2nd prize singles, Søren Bidstrup (probably NSFW)

Agreed!
In general, I don't like much the WPP photos photographically speaking. They are of course precious documentation and there lies
their importance. But photographically speaking, it's just too easy to impress the viewer with strongly dramatic or painful subjects.
I don't underestimate that the most part in those photos is being there (instead of at the safe of home). Still, I can't avoid feeling
that somehow photographical shortcuts are taken.

Agreed Orio!
To be honest, I find the bulk of pictures that duly document the war by showing mass destruction and scattered dead bodies ineffective. Most of the time I know already that there is a war, and destruction, and people are killed and injured. Unless the fotograph adds something to this information, it leaves me cold.
That "something" can be achieved through different means, for example by placing the viewer in the middle of that chaos as the picture of the year does or by organizing elements into geometric shapes as the one that you've linked to does, but ultimately it's the same thing that separates a good photograph from snapshot.

Agreed with both, the image of the girl in the bathroom i can't believe that even won a prize, i can't beleive it was even allowed to participate!!!
And the image orio mentions was my favorite overall.
I must say that you need to have the guts to do this kind of photography (warfare stuff) and after all be able to sleep at night. Some very strong images in here.
I was also surprised to see quite a lot of series/singles in B/W. |
