Meet the Finalists for the 39th AOP Photography Awards AND 2024 AOP Emerging Talent Award

Acclaimed in the photography world, the finalists have now been announced for the 39th AOP Photography Awards, celebrating excellence in the creative photography and image-making industry. Sponsored by MPB, this year’s headline sponsor, the Awards focus on human creativity and professional practice and are an unmissable opportunity to be seen by leading commissioners and names in photography. The Gold and Silver winners will be announced live at the AOP Annual Showcase event in London on 26 September 2024, where, alongside selected finalists, the winning entries will also be exhibited at the Showcase.

“These auspicious Awards have existed for almost 40 years, and each year our Awards finalists challenge and surprise us with their extraordinary & fascinating visual observations of the world around them covering the past year or so. From playful foods and community embraces to gritty environmental messages and still moments, and much much more, our finalists have this year presented what they want us to see, experience and connect with on a human level. In ever challenging times, where human authenticity is increasingly compromised by advances in technology beyond consent, and the cost of living remains high, we are able to champion our community of creative professional photographers with Awards such as these by the acknowledgement of our industry peers and the generosity and support of our partners and sponsors.”

Isabelle Doran, CEO, the AOP

“We are delighted to support the latest celebration of the AOP's photographers' stunning work from the past 12 months. The AOP’s dedication to the protection and guidance of visual storytellers is a cause also shared by MPB, as we look to make photography accessible for all.”
