Gorgeous Supercars Help Artists Nab 2020 Newspress Awards
U.K. photographer Jonathan Pearce wins top honors for his Porsche pix, with Jayson Fong and Richard Pardon proving to be strong competition.
Thanks to a striking set of photographs of some of the world’s most stunning models, photographer Jonathan Pearce came out top in the U.K.’s 2020 Newspress Awards. It wasn’t supermodels like Cara or Miranda that netted Pearce accolades. It was a collection of stellar automotive models–like the supercars above and the Porsche below–that helped him walk away with a win in the “Best Automotive Photographer” category.
And as you can see by these incredible images, Pearce has a knack for taking an interesting subject and making it even better, using perfect lighting and filtered tweaks to ensure that every gorgeous curve and crisp line on the vehicles is appreciated the way it deserves to be. The exterior night shot of a stunning silver Porsche set against a cityscape is a work of art that begs to be made into a poster.
However, as amazing as his work is, Pearce reportedly faced strong competition from a few other entrants, in particular, fellow shortlisted counterparts Jayson Fong (who shot the Porsche garage image below) and Richard Pardon, and the judges apparently found this a tough call to make — and we can see why.
“All three entries are worthy winners for sure,” read the judges’ conclusion. “If it were being judged on a single picture, Jayson’s Porsche up on the trolley in the garage would win hands down. The image is just so striking.
“Richard’s set [including the Porsche photo below] looks like it’s straight out of a Porsche brochure,” they added. “However, the most striking set is Jonathan’s. His late nights in London clearly paid off.
“It’s a great effort all round: all three should be congratulated on an outstanding job.”
The criteria demanded three standout photographs, like Fong’s Toyota Europe Supra 2020, below. Judges were looking for technical excellence, brilliant composition as well as captivating images.
And that’s clearly what they received. Congrats to all of these amazing automotive artists!
