AOP AWARDS 2019 PHOTOGRAPHYMOTIONINNOVATION

I would like to welcome you to this special exhibition of finalist images of this year’s AOP Awards.

The AOP Awards are one of the most respected and influential events in the professional image-making calendar. Now in their 35th year, the Awards are seen as the Oscars of the photography industry.

Throughout this exhibition you will see examples of the best in photography, motion and innovation across all eleven categories. There are images that tell a story, celebrate imagination and help communicate messages. What they all have in common is their exceptional execution.

This year’s entrants have shown that the level of quality within the industry remains very high.

Put your foot forward and explore the many faces of photography and image-making and maybe be inspired to take part next year.
