Announcing 40 New Discoveries in Art Photography
We
are honored to announce 40 remarkable artists (from 20 countries on
five continents) as the winners, finalists and jurors’ picks of the
LensCulture Art Photography Awards 2023.
The work
you will discover here is bold and varied. Some is stripped down to the
basics of black-and-white prints made in a makeshift darkroom during
wartime. Others interrogate the instability of photographic materials as
a metaphor for the slipperiness of human memory. Among these 40
award-winning works, challenging topics are treated in many different
ways: mutilated negatives and prints, poetic metaphors, colossal
collages, straightforward documentary, staged portraiture, and colorful
in-your-face humor. The range of creative and technical approaches is
impressive and exhilarating.
We hope you will find delight and inspiration in many of this year’s discoveries.

“It
was a pleasure to be introduced to so many new artists with strong
bodies of work. The quality of the works presented set the bar so high
that it was difficult to narrow the field to find works that left a
mark. Congratulations to everyone who submitted.”
— Crista Dix, Executive Director, Griffin Museum
“It
was a pleasure to judge the LensCulture award this year. Art
photography can be a very loose term to define but it allows for
experimentation and creativity like no other genre in the medium. As an
editor, the process is a great way to connect with new photographers and
their projects, some of whom we may well end up commissioning in the
future.”
— Izabela Radwanska Zhang, Editorial Director, British Journal of Photography
