The winners of this year’s Black and White Minimalist Photography prize have been announced by Black & White Minimalism Magazine. Despite the focused theme — minimalist black and white photographs — the competition attracted 1,300 submissions.
The winner of the prize was Yvonne C Krystovsky, with the captivating image “In Great-Grandpa’s hands”. In second place was Daniel Zaleski with “Minimalist Concrete Staircase” and Alexandre Caetano with “On top of Serra da Capelada”. A select group of photographers were selected as finalists and all will be featured in the annual Black & White Minimalist Photography Prize book.
