Top 10 - 2021 through 10 compelling portraits
The beautiful introduction to the images was written by Josh Bright, Senior Editor & Curator of The Independent Photographer. Thank you very much!
Truly extraordinary Junko Akita’s image, (which, in March of this year, was selected by the Washington Post’s renowned Director of Photography MaryAnne Golon as the finest entrant to our Emerging Talent Award) captured whilst on vacation in northern Norway, grips the viewer from the outset. The gaze of the child; the subtle reflection of the remote Norwegian scenery illuminated softly by the fading natural light; it is at once, intimate, moving, and emphatic, a composition that captures and celebrates the joy of family, whilst simultaneously provoking a strong sense of wanderlust (which seems particularly potent perhaps due to the restrictions of recent times).
