Lürzer's Archive selects the best photographers
For the fifth time, Lürzer’s Archiv has selected the 200 best photographers from around the world. A total of 860 photographers from 56 countries submitted their work—but only 502 outstanding masterpieces made it into this year’s 200 Best Photographers.
With 10,229 submissions, this year's edition saw the highest participation to date in the battle for a place in the book, according to a press release issued on Tuesday. As the first two editions of the 200 Best Photographers were sold out within a very short space of time, the third edition of Lürzer's Archive Special had already increased the print run to 30,000, which will also be maintained for the new publication.
The following people were represented on the jury:
- Graham Fink, Chief Creative Officer at Ogilvy & Mather China
- Simon R. Leach, Non-executive President of the British Association of Photographers, London
- Cheryl Masaitis, Art Buyer and Producer at McGarryBowen, New York
- Takahito Sato, founder of BeamX10 inc., Tokyo
- Anne-Rose Schlutbohm, former editor of Profession Photographe, Paris
- Anne Telford, Editor-at-Large, Communication Arts
- Michael Weinzettl, publisher and editor-in-chief of Lürzer's Archive
