We proudly present the winners of the 2009 PDN Photo Annual. The images in this gallery were submitted from an international group of exceptional photographers. Even though we’re in the daily business of pictures, the entries we receive for the Photo Annual never cease to amaze us. We at PDN applaud this group of professional photographers—both new and seasoned—on the work they’ve submitted. Despite hardships in this industry, you’re traveling, finding inspiration, producing work that is fresh and exciting, and continuing to contribute at a level that is at the pinnacle of professional photography. After all, if there is any group that can find solutions to challenges, it’s the creative contributors we’ve come to know over the years, and the newcomers we’re eager to support.
