Healthy competition
t’s only April, yet it’s already been a year of success
for some of our best Australian photographers.
Melbourne’s Josh Holko was named Arctic
Photographer of the Year, Nick Melidonis’s stunning
photo of a camel train in Northern India was named one
of the ten best nature photos in the world in the World
Photographic Cup, and Warren Richardson, Daniel
Berehulak and Rohan Kelly have taken out four of the
World Press Photo’s top prizes, sweeping up arguably the
most prestigious photo competition of them all. If you
ever had doubts about just how good our photographers
are, there’s your answer.
In case you missed it, last year’s World Press Photo was
marred by controversy, so this year’s competition carried
with it a heightened level of scrutiny. Awkwardly in 2015,
news broke on the same day of the winner’s announcement
that more than 20 per cent of the final-round entries had
been disqualified due to excessive ‘digital manipulation’.
“There’s post-processing that a photographer does
legitimately to an industry standard,” said Michele McNally,
the assistant managing editor of
The New York Times
and
chair of WPP’s 2015 jury, speaking after the fact. “And then
there was the extreme – we saw some real manipulation,
photographers who added or subtracted elements of the
image. You realise: ‘They’re trying to deceive us here’.”
It got worse. A few weeks after the first revelations
came to light another entry was disqualified, when
it emerged Italian photographer Giovanni Troilo
announced his image shot in Molenbeek, Brussels, was

supplied in JPEG format (.jpg) with a separate
list of captions. JPEG compression should

staged. His award – first prize in the Contemporary
Issues – Story category, for the series
La Ville Noire,
The Dark Heart of Europe
– was deemed not to be in
compliance with the entry rules. His prize was revoked.
“We now have a clear case of misleading information
and this changes the way the story is perceived,” Lars
Boering, managing director of the WPP Foundation said.
“A rule has now been broken and a line has been crossed.”
The controversy created more discussion than the
choice of winners. What exactly was an ‘industry
standard’ of manipulation, and was WPP being too
heavy handed with their judging, or not thorough
enough? I’m guessing the conversations among the
judges would have been challenging to say the least.
So far it appears 2016 has been relatively trouble free,
with amazing entries and even more impressive winners.
Keen to further the discussion, in February Boering
announced WPP will release a report reviewing the
verification process for 2015. By the time this issue goes to
print, the report should have been released and is expected
to show standards and the process have been largely
respected. Raising awareness about what’s acceptable and
what’s not will hopefully lead to higher standards across
press journalism – it’s a healthy conversation to be having.
Like it or not, awards programs like World Press Photo,
the World Photographic Cup and the Arctic Photographer
of the Year set the benchmark for photographers.
It’s in our interest for these competitions to be as robust
as possible.
