12 months ago, I had a very good night out. I drank a fair amount of champagne and felt quite delicate the day after. I’d just won Bloomberg, Business Photographer of the year; my first Picture Editors Guild Award after entering the same competition at every opportunity since I was at college.
 
Last week, I attended the same event and to my surprise…. I managed to do it again. This year I had stiff competition with nominations for 3 of the best news photographers that are currently working in the U.K; Anthony Devlin, my friend the exceptionally talented Leon Neal and Stefan Wermuth from Reuters. My reward was a handshake with Nigel Farage… and a lovely shiny trophy to put alongside last years in our front room.
 
It was an absolute honor to be recognised for what I do within the industry, but it really wouldn’t be possible without the support the Bloomberg picture desk, a great team who I love working for.
 
I was also nominated as British Airways, Entertainment and Fashion Photographer of the year for the images I have been shooting with the Independent and was highly commended in this category.
 
Images in this post were shot for Bloomberg News and won the business category. An exhibition featuring images from all nominees of this years awards is currently on display at The Museum of London.
