Here are 38 photographers who are making truly remarkable work in black and white right now. B&W is a special medium, and all of these award winners and finalists have tapped into the magic of monochrome to create compelling images and stories that will stop you in your tracks and take you on memorable, visual journeys in ways that no other artform can. This year’s winners represent some of the best black-and-white contemporary photography from all corners of the world. Take your time to discover points of view from 23 countries on 5 continents. These award winners cover a wide span of creative approaches too — including hard hitting documentary, fine art, poetic, conceptual, street photography, intimate moments and philosophical meditations, as well as stunning celebrations of nature, beauty and everyday life. We hope you will find some true inspiration here this year!
