Reuters man named UK Picture Editors’ Guild Awards 2013 photographer of the year

By Darren Boyle

A major exhibition of the best press photographers of 2013 has opened at the Museum of London following the UK Picture Editors’ Guild awards.

Alan Sparrow, UK Picture Editors’ Guild chairman said: “This year’s entries produced some of the closest scoring amongst our judges, but a clear winner emerged early. I think that the work of Stefan Wermuth makes him an outstanding SABMiller Photographer of the Year.”

More than 400 press photographers entered the competition that was judged by a range of national and regional picture editors as well as those covering agencies.

One of Wermuth's five images featured former energy secretary Chris Huhne as he left Southwark Crown Court after his guilty plea to perverting the course of justice on 4 February 2013.
