The best black and white photos from the Black+White Photographer of the Year 2018 contest

The British edition of Black+ White Photography and Fujifilm held a black-and-white photography contest in search of the best photo masters to give them a chance to receive universal recognition and reward for their work. Both professionals and amateurs could participate in the competition without age restrictions. The finalists' works will be published in a special winter issue of Black+White Photography magazine.

The winner in 2018 was British Rachel Talibart with an expressive picture of a surf wave. This work was chosen from many others for its technical excellence and artistry. But other works that have reached the final of the competition deserve attention.
