The Exposure One Awards has announced the winners of its 2024 Photographer of the Year Contest, including equine photographer, Maria Marriott.
The Exposure One Awards honor exceptional black and white images that explore the rich traditions and enduring power of black and white photography. The expert judges for this contest hailed from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Conde Nast, Leica Gallery, and others.
An award winner in multiple categories, Marriott commented on her awards: “I am deeply honored to be recognized among so many incredibly talented photographers. My goal is always to convey a strong sense of emotion in my artwork. And the fact that this was recognized by these world-class judges is extremely gratifying.”
Exposure One organizers said, “This annual competition attracted remarkable submissions from artists worldwide, each bringing a unique perspective to monochromatic photography. Winners were chosen based on their artistic innovation, technical expertise, and the emotional resonance they conveyed by using black, white, and every shade in between.”
Maria Marriott received the following honors at the 2024 Photographer of the Year Contest:
A Silver medal in the Domestic Animals category for her series "Grace Within Shadows", a series of domestic horse portraits that explores the boundaries of light and shadows to highlight the unique equine form.
The People’s Vote Award in the Abstract category for her image "Simplicity". Seemingly, a simple black rectangle with three lines, a closer inspection reveals the subtle play of light and shadows, highlighting the outline of a horse.

She is best known for several wild horse photography series presenting the rugged beauty of the American wild horses.
