Two winners. Two journeys. One podcast. 🎉
In this episode we sat down with Lynn Fraser and Lucy Monckton — the champions of Amateur Photographer of the Year magazine 2024. Lynn took home the Overall Winner prize, while Lucy wowed the judges to become Young APOY Winner 2024. So today, having them both together in one episode definitely feels like a power duo moment!
We dive into what drew them into photography in the first place, how they each approach their work, and what it’s like to have your images recognized in one of the most competitive photography contests out there. Lynn shares her love of human-centered storytelling and the process behind her winning shot, while Lucy brings a fresh perspective with her adventurous eye and bold landscapes.
Along the way, we talk about nerves, self-doubt, that magical moment you find out you’ve won, and how competitions can give a huge boost to your creative journey. And yes, there are plenty of laughs — because what’s the point of awards if you can’t have a little fun talking about them?
So whether you’re an aspiring contest entrant, a long-time shooter, or just curious about what makes a winning image stand out, this episode will give you a front-row seat to the world of APOY 2024.
Grab a coffee, tune in, and meet two amazing photographers who prove that passion really does get noticed ☕📸
