News Photographer

of the Year

 
 

Lauren DeCicca

Lauren’s review of her work from 2021 was a masterclass in true professionalism - the judges were deeply impressed with the finesse, variety and depth her portfolio showcased, leaving the impression of a confident and masterful photographer in full flight. Whether it was pitched street battles, a character portrait, or a beautifully shot quirky feature, each frame was flawless and told a story in one take. We appreciated the skill involved in shooting such a wide variety of pictures to such a high degree of craftsmanship. Her edit was punchy and well-paced, leaving us wanting to see more after each frame.
