Shutter Hub was proud to be a supporter of this year's FORMAT International Portfolio Review Awards which took place recently.

The winner of the Shutter Hub award was Roger Coulam, and we are delighted to congratulate Roger on his excellent winning series, A Grain of Sand (the above image is an example from that series, entitled Plankton). He was personally chosen and announced as the winner by Brian Griffin, who is one of the patrons of the FORMAT Festival. The Portfolio Reviews were followed by a special Awards Ceremony and Portfolio Walk, and a set by 'photo comedian' Al Pitcher.
