Bob Pixxel, a Ghanaian photographer who passed away a few weeks ago, has won the Best Photographer Award at the maiden Entertainment Achievement Awards.
He beat off competition from Ofoe Amegavie, Ben Bond, Prince Gyasi, and Emmanuel Obuobi Bekoe (OBE image).
This award category is one that causes people to stop and ponder over the many compelling images that may have caught their attention on Social Media and the internet in general, Billboards, in magazines and via other media.
Those photographs would have been captured by talented and skilled photographers, who deserve to be recognised on a stage as mammoth as the Entertainment Achievement Awards.
According to the EAA category definition, “The award goes to the photographer, who would have distinguished himself/herself in the Art of Photography, within the year under review. His/Her work must be diverse and versatile, cutting across various genres of Photography. The EAA Academy shall consider the level of difficulty that may have been endured in order to capture a particular shot. Creativity, humanitarian value, application of technique, clarity of expression, and uniqueness of concept are also some of the factors that would lead a photographer to win this category.”
