There’s no denying that digital imaging has become an essential
tool over the years for photographers and other creatives in the
industry, and as we enter year 15 of the
PDN PIX Digital
Imaging Awards, it’s hard to imagine who isn’t shooting digital
these days. We're asking ourselves, how did we manage to live
without this technology before?
We’re proud to celebrate the best and most innovative images of the
year and the following pages showcase a broad range of digital
artistry. Take, for example, Jonathan Barkat’s series of skaters
and freestyle BMX bikers at Philadelphia’s FDR Park. Barkat has
transformed a simple scene into a fantastical world. Vincent Dixon
(who has two wins this year) continues to dazzle with his seamless
capture and compositing work to create fully imagined, or
heightened environments. Matt Hoyle, on assignment for
Fast
Company magazine, has won us over with his humorous portrait of
Eugene Mirman, "the Godfather of Web-based comedy." Impressively,
Hoyle did the photography, CGI work, and compositing all
himself.
This year we've added a well-received multimedia category. The Wade
Brothers (David Lindsey Wade and Lyndon Wade) take Grand Prize in
this category with a still shoot and motion piece entitled “Room
107,” and a full-length movie and print campaign for the British
fashion company Fly53.
We would like to thank all of our judges and entrants for keeping
this contest creative, fun and relevant for so many years—who knows
what we’ll see next. Now, we proudly present the winners!
