Ah, I see the debate stopped there where I left it two months a go… too bad…I think it would have been interesting to know other people’s opinions.

I was refering to David Alan Harvey; as curator of this beautiful website, I would have loved to hear his opinion on this issue…

Why dig? take the elevator out of the hole instead and join the world howling at the sun.

Good points about the emerging aspect, though I can’t say I agree with the nefarious reasons proposed.

Personally Imants, my “plan” is to dig harder.

Maybe it is more about what the photographer is doing than the photographer himself. Remember it is funding designed to support continuation of a photographer’s personal project.
Could be that the term emerging is to narrow perhaps? People are taking it for its literal meaning? Making wine out of sour grapes? In the end the 10 big ones have gone to a committed photographer with a pretty nifty project that seems to have a good spin on it.

Dunno about you lot but I know that I am emerging ……………….that hole I dug was sure deep

I like the collection of photo’s.
Shows the skills of an experienced and honed photographer. One that has produced numerous books that have won numerous international awards, has won ipa’s and a world press photo, has worked in a well known agency for 8 years and has exhibited regularly and frequently for the past 8 years.
Emerged photographer award maybe.
Emerging icon maybe.
Emerging photographer? he is clearly not.
I respect the photographer and his work and glad it exists but there are plenty of suitable awards that fit his position and which he has already been recipient of.
I have little confidence in the burn ethos as it seems grounded in a necessity to prove itself as being the best out there. Is the reason that a non-emerged winner did not win the award because there was not one suitable of the burn award?
If this is so then please say so.
There are many young photographers out there doing interesting though provoking work but are limited by commercial viability and the market. Patting the back of a “made” photographer further breaks the backs of the emerging, you name and fame have heralded this site as a beacon for those looking to seek out an education in a new generations response to the medium. Sadly the market does not have the time to discover for itself but relies on a handful of personalities and bodies that dominate the field.
I find it problematic that this sits is attempting to gain success as a commercial entity heralding in a new form dealing with the market and that of attempting to be a platform for fresh new emerging photographers.
I’m concerned that Burn is becoming part of the problem and not the solution.

Great work by Davide and well deserved prize, but honestly… “emerging photographer”???? Davide Monteleone??? Winner of two world press photo awards, an IPA, longtime Contrasto affiliate, author of various books…. in my opinion, he is to be considered a veteran.
