hasselblad masterS 2023
The Hasselblad Masters is one of the world’s most prestigious professional photographic competitions with over 85,000 entrants to the bi-annual competition in 2023. Tom Pitts’ series ‘The Commute’ was selected as the winner of the Street Category in 2023, with Tom being given the title of a ‘Hasselblad Master’.
The Commute captures the unspoken emotions of strangers in transit, photographed at bus stops in England. “I wanted to capture and share the stories and moments that take place every day during people’s commutes, and the underlying beauty that passes us by,” says Pitts.
“The artist has captured moments that create a poignancy and narrative, essential to successful Street Photography,” says Andy Saunders, Senior Vice President at Getty Images and Grand Jury member.
