Our call for submissions for the 2014 edition of A Hotel Photo, an Artist’s View (Photo d’hôtel, photo d’auteur) received an overwhelming response – 200 candidates! It wasn’t easy for our jury to whittle them down to twelve photographers, but after meeting up yesterday the choice has now been made.

The members of the jury were:

Esther Woerdehoff, Galerie EW
Florence Moll, Florence Moll & associés
Corinne et Pascal Moncelli, HPRG
Molly Benn, Our age is thirteen
Audrey Turpin, Fetart
Caroline Stein, Central DUPON Images
Florence Drouhet, Festival photo la Gacilly
Ricardo Moreno, Gobelins – l’école de l’image
Patrick Tourneboeuf, photographer
Alain Bisotti, PHPA

As you know, the twelve photographers are chosen by the jury, after which they are randomly assigned a month to take their photo and the hotel in which they will spend a night in order to take it.

So here are the twelve photographers whose photos will be shown on the PHPA site every month during 2014 and are eligible to win the PHPA prize in 2015!

Click on any photographer’s name or photo to be taken to their site. And don’t forget to check out phpa.fr to see all the photos taken for the project up until now!
