The Guardian scoort met fotografie
foto Tom Jenkins
The Guardian swept the board in the photography categories of the annual What the Papers Say Awards yesterday. Dan Chung won the photographer of the year prize, while Tom Jenkins' shot of Kelly Holmes crossing the line to win gold at the 800m Olympic final in Athens was photograph of the year.
The judges said the image of Holmes would "remain in the archives for a very long time", adding: "Photographers lie in wait to capture this type of unique, historic moment and it was caught perfectly."
They praised Chung's "exceptional and unusual range - from action shots to portraiture to sport". His portfolio of entries included a striking image of Zainab Hamid, a 10-year-old girl who lost her leg and 17 family members during a coalition attack on her village during the Iraq war.
The What the Papers Say honour was Chung's second photographer of the year award of 2004. Earlier this year, he won the same title at the British Picture Editors' Awards.
