Advertisements The Grand Winner of this year’s WPY is James Simmons from Perth, Australia. His image was also the winner in the Black & White category. If I may say, I really like his balanced image that reminds me of the Yin-Yang symbol. I think it’s a great representation of what a relationship and a marriage should look like.
Describing how the image came to being, James said: The runner-up of the 2020 contest is Antonio Crutchley from Miami, USA. He photographed this beautiful couple in a car outside the Filmore at Jackie Gleason Theater in Miami Beach. His image also won in the Engagement category. Her husband James was standing pretty close, giving her something to look at and as I shot and reframed, James’ silhouette started to creep in. The Ying Yang symbol instantly came to mind and later as I refined the image in Photoshop the King & Queen chess board design was also an influence that worked well visually.” Photographers from more than 60 countries submitted their photos for the 2020 contest in ten categories:
