Nick Ballón
Nick Ballón's journalistic sensibility is at the heart of his photographic practice. He has a way of discovering those little ticks or details about a place, person or situation that others miss. Everything centres around his limitless curiosity. With each project he invests hours into research and development. His portfolio is a collision of subjects from the worlds of politics, art, science, history, sport and popular culture. For the last decade, Nick's personal work has focused exclusively on his Anglo-Bolivian heritage, exploring socio-historical ideas of identity and place, with a particular focus on the concept of 'foreignness' and belonging.
From Nick Ballón's Cuidad Rebelde series.

This year's winners
Jimmy Lee
University for the Creative Arts
Another Day in Paradise is a unique study of modern Britain in the ‘Brexit era’. Instead of documenting the direct conflict, Jimmy’s work depicts the ideology of British people today as well as the fantasy of the future.
Josh Adam Jones
Bristol, University West of England
Josh’s study, XO, concentrates on the relationship between local people and outsiders in Oman’s capital city, Muscat, with an emphasis on human aspects of the Middle East and how people are united by diversity.
Maia Pavey
Falmouth University
Maia’s series ‘Chez Moi, De Loin’, is a collection of mixed media exploring her grandparents’ house in the Calvados region of Normandy which was inhabited by the Nazis in the Second World War. Her images ask the question: what makes a home, and does the history of the house matter?
