Edmond Terakopian
UK Nominee Children of the World Professional "Fun In The Rain" Enjoying the heavy rain, a child runs through a puddle in the rain. Covent Garden, London, UK. I was humbled when The Daily Mirror newspaper named me as the author of one of the world’s most iconic photographs, referring to my photograph from the July 7th terrorist bombings in London. One of these photographs was also selected for “100 Photos of the 21st Century: Editions de la Martiniere”. Alongside a third place award in the prestigious World Press Photo awards and being bestowed the title of Photographer Of The Year in the British Press Awards, I have also served as the British Prime Minister's official photographer, as a member of a three photographer team, working directly for the British Prime Minister Tony Blair's office, at 10 Downing Street. I started as a news photographer in 1989, working my way up through the regional newspapers, national newspapers, magazines and international news agencies. I’ve been fortunate to participate in several group and solo exhibitions, having my work exhibited in prestigious venue's such as New York's Grand Central Station, St James's Palace, The National Theatre, The Royal Albert Hall, Fulham Palace & London's South Bank, with venues situated in 88 cities around the world. I’ve also been published in numerous books. |
