Both Con Poulos and Anders Schonnemann had a number of commended images in the competition this year.  Last year Con was a finalist, but this year, as one of the finalists,  it was Anders’s tea pickers shot that was hung on the wall for us all to admire.

It was a tough competition and alas Anders didn’t win this time. However we were delighted to cheer on our near neighbour in SE1-  and all round nice chap Jonathan Gregson as he won not one, but two, prizes in the food portrait category.

Congratulations to all the winners and commended photographers – and we’re looking forward to going again next year…

and coming home with an award next time (third time lucky).

To celebrate (and encourage) the sunnier weather we thought we’d share with you these lovely summery pictures shot by Con Poulos.

Bring on the sun!

In the meantime enjoy this lovely image shot by our Robyn Vickers

If you wanted to avoid the work of Anders Schonnemann this month – you’ll need to hide out in a hole or something similar – he’s everywhere with two gorgeous editorial shoots for Red Magazine and House and Garden both out, plus his shots for the Etihad Airways print campaign – their first in 3 years, which was created by M&C Saatchi.  We had a great (and exhausting) time working on this with a fantastic team from the agency and everyone who worked with us to make it happen. Anders flew almost round the world on flights for it…so we are so delighted to see the finished work and love the way it looks – hope you do too.
