And from all of these entries, there emerged one clear winner. New Zealand Geographic would like to congratulate Richard Robinson, supreme winner at the 2010 Photographer of the Year awards.
"Every image that Richard submitted had almost perfect composition, an evident understanding of the subject before the lens, and attention to the way light was playing on the surfaces. These are the metrics of fine photography." — James Frankham, Editor and Convenor of Judges.
Katrina Elton, who won the Young Photographer category, demonstrated skills across the range of subjects she submitted, in all categories, and in particular an attention to detail that is the hallmark of photographers with a good deal more experience.
