Nature photographer, Maria Marriott, wins top honors across four categories for her black and white photography.
According to the contest organizers, the winning images at this year's contest are “masterful contributions to black and white photography.”
Winning two gold awards, a silver and a bronze across four different categories with two very different subjects, contributes to her growing recognition as an emerging voice in contemporary photography. In 2024, Marriott was also recognized as one of the top female photographers by Women Behind the Lens.
Marriott’s minimalistic depiction of a lily, “The Queen’s Wave”, was awarded the the highest honor of Gold in the Minimalism and Abstract categories, and a Silver award in the Fine Art category.
Her haunting monochromatic image of a wild stallion drinking at a watering hole in the Great Basin Desert of Utah, “Serene”, was recognized with a Bronze award in the Nature category.
According to Marriott, “Black and white photography, because it is stripped of color, requires the artist and viewer to focus on shapes and textures. But it also allows the artist to convey focus and communicate certain moods and emotions that could be lost in a color image.”
The One Shot Photo Contest is one of the premier black and white photography contests in the world. This year’s contest hosted a world-class panel of judges hailing from the Leica Gallery, Aperture, AIPAD, Photo Basel, and SFMoMA, representing some of the most respected names in photography, visual arts, and creativity.
