Photography Winner
Congratulations to Martin Brent – American Photography 40 Winner.
We are absolutely thrilled to announce that for the third year in a row, the exceptionally talented Martin Brent has been honoured as a winner in the American Photography 40 awards!
This year, Martin has achieved the impressive feat of having not one but two of his images ( ‘Dog House’ & ‘Traffic light on 5th) selected for these prestigious awards. Both pieces are part of his breathtaking series, “Golden” which beautifully captures that magical time of day when everything the light touches transforms into gold.
“Golden” is an ongoing project for Martin, who strives to seize those elusive moments when the light is just right, turning ordinary scenes into extraordinary ones. Whether it’s a street corner in New York City, a diner in Albuquerque, or a hotel stairwell in Greece, Martin remains ever vigilant, wherever he is in the world seeking that perfect moment when the light turns to liquid gold.
“It is amazing how natural light can dramatically alter a scene. Understanding this is essential to a photographer’s skill set,” Martin reflects. “Natural light can be an invaluable tool for creating captivating images, whether for a commissioned project or a personal series. Factors like the time of day and the season play a crucial role, as does a photographer’s understanding of how a digital sensor or a roll of film captures that ‘golden’ moment.”
Congratulations to Martin on this remarkable achievement! We look forward to seeing both these stunning images in print when the AP40 Awards book comes out and we hope that he enjoys the AI AP Awards Party when it comes around in November.
