Mai interesante insa sunt premiile acordate la categoria PHOTOGRAPHY, FEATURED PHOTOGRAPHY si NEWS AND DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY. Dintre finalistii GQ, Interview, Vogue, National Geographic, Virginia Quarterly Review, revista anului la categoria fotografie a fost aleasa VOGUE! Ca sa ne confirme cumva ca cei mai multi bani se baga in fotografia de fashion, poate si pentru ca aduce cel mai bun return of investment.
