Top 100 Photographers of the Year 2019

Honoured to reveal our Top 100 Photographers of 2019! The photographers below have shown themselves to be at the very top of their game; capturing moment after moment to an incredibly high, world-class standard. To win a single Reportage Award or Story Award is incredibly difficult – our judges (who change for each round) typically only choose the top few percent from our thousands of submissions as winners – so to win multiple is an incredible achievement. If you’re on this list, you really can class yourself as one of the best documentary wedding photographers in the world.

Special congratulations to our Photographer of the Year, Fabio Mirulla, who won a staggering total of 17 Awards – including 8 Story Awards. With the most awards that anyone has ever won from us, he is our very worthy Photographer of the Year (and it is his image above).

No poses; nothing staged: This is Reportage.
