The reFocus Awards has announced the winners of its One Shot Photo Awards, the first competition from this newly-formed organization.
The reFocus Awards is a relatively new photo contest and platform that has been designed to offer opportunities, prizes, and points of discovery for photographers around the world. The organization says that through its Artist Directory, Winner’s Gallery, as well as our People’s Vote Award — which saw more than 41,000 votes this year — it has created more than just a contest but a community.
“When we created this contest we tried to be selective in terms of how many awards we offer as well as what sort of prizes we could promise for the sake of delivering entrants something unique and real. Our creative director is a photographer and much of our planning for reFocus came about after our shared agreement that existing contests could do better.”
This particular competition played host to 20 categories in both the professional and non-professtional tiers, but three photos stood out as best overall in each, shown below. All these photos, along with the winning images from all categories, can be seen along with detailed interviews from the photographersDetention cell in Colombia | Convicted prisoners sitting in a detention cell at a police station in Maicao in Colombia.
“What a huge coincidence that I bumped into them in these stormy times! They stayed on the deserted beach for about an hour and, during that time, I took about 50 pictures of this enormously fascinating happening in the least obtrusive way I could imagine. I tried to get as close as possible without being noticed because I didn’t want to disturb their privacy.
