Best Black and White Photographer of the Year – London
Published August 2026
Helen Bartlett is an award-winning London family photographer with 23 years’ experience, recently named Best Black and White Photographer of the Year by the Top 100 Awards.
The Top 100 Awards recognise business excellence and showcase companies making a big impact within their industries — and I’m delighted to add this to my growing collection of photography and business honours.
A track record of recognition
I regularly win photography awards, and this year it’s been a real privilege to be honoured with a number of business awards too:
- Best Black and White Photographer of the Year — Top 100 Awards (2026)
- Family Portrait Photographer of the Year — Corporate LiveWire Innovation & Excellence Awards (2026)
- Family Photographer of the Year, South East England — Prestige Awards (2026/27)
- Best Family Photographer — Creative and Visual Arts Awards (2025)
For families in London considering a photographer, industry recognition like this is one signal that your portrait session is in genuinely experienced hands — judged not just by me, but by independent panels across the photography and business world.
Recent highlight: Berlin Photo Awards
I’ll be posting more soon about another recent win — gaining both first and second place in the Family Photography category of the Berlin Photo Awards, a particular highlight of the year so far. More on that shortly.
Thank you to my clients
None of this would be possible without my wonderful clients. This is my twenty-third year in business as a family photographer in London, and it means such a lot that you trust me to record your family stories year on year. I still have so much more to give, so many more stories to tell — and I can’t wait for the next decade of family photography.
