For our fourth edition of the Booooooom Photo Awards, supported by Format, we selected 5 winners, one for each of the following categories: Portrait, Street, Colour, Nature, Student. You can view all the winners and shortlisted photographers here.
It’s our pleasure to introduce the winner of the Colour category, Chanyoung Chung. Born in South Korea and raised in Montréal, Chung came to photography after seven years working as a nurse in Vancouver. Now back in Montréal, he creates still-life images in the studio while also photographing traces of contemporary life beyond it. His work invites reflection on peace, cooperation, and the quiet harmony that can emerge within society.
Our sincere thanks to everyone who shared their work with us and made it our open call to date. A big thank you to our guest judges as well as to our generous sponsors, Format and WANDRD, whose support made this year’s awards possible.
