Fleet Streets Finest is delighted to be involved with the United Kingdoms Picture Editors Guild Awards .

The UK Picture Editors Guild Awards are the premier awards in the UK for press photographers and Fleet Streets Finest is proud to be a sponsor for the Essay Photographer of the Year category.

The work of press photographers in newspapers often goes unnoticed, but imagine a newspaper that has no pictures on it’s pages .

It might only be a tiny image but its effect on a page ,helping to break up lines of text has great value. 

The main image on a page often goes unrecognised with by lines regularly forgotten or left off in error.

Photographers on newspapers are getting rarer and rarer , from their heyday in the fifties and sixties when newspapers would often employ dozens of photographers.
