While laying out the 42 winning images and eight honorable mentions on the following pages, ENR senior art director Scott Hilling says he was struck by “a real visceral sense of mood and emotion conveyed through many of the photos this year. It was palpable. Intense lighting, dramatic shadows and an elevated sense of composition were the keys to achieving this.” As you flip through the pages and focus on each individual photo, Hilling hopes that you will consider perspective—whether that means the viewpoint (literally or figuratively) of the photographer, or your own frame of reference brought to the viewing experience. “Studying a photo and really taking in the entire shot can allow you to see an angle or intended path the photographer wanted to take you down that you might not have seen with just a quick glance,” he says. After considering the photo, he encourages readers to study the caption to see if it changes your point of view. “The caption is integral to having the perspective of the photographer or subject of the shot at the time it was taken,” Hilling contends. “That context can bring a whole new perspective to your interpretation of the shot.”
