This week, the World Photography Organization announced the shortlist for Student and Youth Photographer of the Year, a subset of the broader Sony World Photography Awards of 2024.
The students, all attendees of institutes of higher learning, each put together bodies of work based on the prompt “Home.” The photos run the gamut, depicting the inside of some of the photographers’ actual homes, while others speak more broadly to the cultures of the various countries they hail from.
The youth photographers, all 19 or under, shot for the prompt “Through Your Eyes,” with results covering landscape, portraits, astrophotography and more.
The winners will be announced on April 18th 2024, but you can feast your eyes on all the contenders right here, right now.
Our DPREVIEW Tribute:
After nearly 25 years of operation, DPReview closed on 10 April 2023. This difficult decision was part of the annual operating plan review that parent company, Amazon, shared earlier this year.
Over the course of 25 years, DP Review built up a reputation as being one of the most informative places to go for information about that new camera or lens you’re after. DP Review began as an independent reviews site based in the UK in 1998, the brainchild of Philip and Joanna Askey, but it was eventually purchased by Amazon in 2007 and relocated over to Seattle in the USA in 2010.
Cheers DPReview – thanks for the great work and content that guided photographers, videographers and techno junkies the world over!
