The winning image from the Life Framer Black and White Award 2024 that became a part of two global exhibitions organised by Life Framer in 2025.
The competition was judged by Curator of Photography at the V&A Museum in London, Marta Weiss. This is what Marta Weiss and the Life Framer team had to say about this image.
This stark composition of dramatic lights and shadows stood out for how well it embraced the potential of black and white. I appreciate how carefully crafted it is, with half the picture in deep shadow, while on the other side three figures – a pair of children and a single adult – are silhouetted against geometric blocks of light. – MARTA WEISS
Shadowy scenes are always so impressive in black and white, as viewers search for hints of detail in the grey tones and lighter shaded areas. There is a familiar and unfamiliar sense as the shadows and framing distort the distance between the subjects, and in doing so emphasizing the uncertainty and anticipation. The photographer has artfully composed this frame, understanding the nuances of shadows to help create the atmosphere. – LIFE FRAMER
