‘All Eyes Speak One Language’ awarded silver in the Independent Publisher Book Awards

I’m delighted to have received the news that I’ve won Silver for 2nd place in the Photography category of this year’s Independent Publisher Book Awards.

The Independent Publisher Book Awards

The Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPYs) is a premier awards organisation for independent publishers which attracts 5000 plus entries a year across all categories.

Conducted annually since 1997, the Independent Publisher Book Awards honour the year's best independently published titles from around the world.  They celebrate the creativity, diversity, and innovation thriving within the independent publishing community.

Open to authors and publishers worldwide who produce books written in English and appropriate for the North American market, these awards are highly coveted.

Celebrating excellence in independent publishing

Since its inception, the Independent Publisher Book Awards have become synonymous with excellence and integrity in the publishing industry.

They shine a spotlight on independently published titles that push boundaries, challenge conventions, and inspire readers around the world.

A prestigious recognition for All Eyes Speak One Language

It is such an honour for All Eyes Speak One Language to have gained this recognition and to have been awarded Silver in the Photography category of this year's Independent Publisher Book Awards. On receiving the news, I felt a moment of immense pride and joy.

Fellow photography book award winners

It’s also a pleasure to be in the company of fellow photographers and authors who have been recognised for their contributions to the world of independent book publishing.

Congratulations to the Gold-winning title, "Fox: Neighbour, Villain, Icon," and to the talented photographers Neil Aldridge, Matt Maran, and Andy Parkinson for their well-deserved awards too.

All Eyes Speak One Language

All Eyes Speak One Language is a high-quality coffee table book featuring sixty photographs, each presented on its page, much, in the same way, a stand-alone fine art print would deserve. There are also essays by myself and Keith Wilson, with its foreword by Dame Virginia McKenna of The Born Free Foundation.

Visit my online store to learn more about the book and to make a purchase. Copies of the book are available for just $65 and can be shipped globally.

A deluxe edition is also available which is limited to just 100 copies, signed and numbered, bound in cloth with an image inlaid on the front, all contained in a luxury clamshell portfolio box together with three exclusive book-sized prints.

A heartfelt thank you for your support

To the Independent Publisher Book Awards organisers, judges, and staff, as well as to all who have supported and championed "All Eyes Speak One Language," thank you! This achievement would not have been possible without your dedication to promoting independent photographers and authors, and your support of the independent publishing industry.

In the wake of the Independent Publisher Book Awards news, I have received hundreds of likes, supportive comments and congratulatory messages from those who follow me online, including on Instagram. Many thanks for those too – I greatly appreciate it.
