We're super excited to announce Simon Drew of Loud and Flashy photography, Ashington, Northumberland

has won this prestigious award!

The North East Photographer of the Year 2018 had some absolutely amazing entries throughout 2018. Having won the opening round in January 2018 we were then entered in to the final in January 2019 where we had to show just 5 photographs - all taken in the north east. It was a tough choice to pick them, trying to show a wide range of styles, creativity and technical excellence!

Winning this award means so much, firstly because of the immense talent that we were up against - the north east has so many amazing photographers. Secondly, this competition was judged by our peers in the photography industry, so to receive such an accolade from such amazingly talented people makes it even more precious to us!
