Creative Review’s Photography Annual comes with a twist this year. Those of you who have followed CR over the years will know their Photography Annual is usually a pay-for-entry awards scheme, which is entered by photographers and commissioners.

But this year they’ve decided to do it a bit differently and have done away with the awards and instead asked a panel of people immersed in the world of photography to nominate their favourite works of 2022 across editorial, fashion, advertising, exhibitions, books, and personal work. The result is a document of some of the incredible work that has risen to prominence in photography in 2022, which will hopefully make you laugh, possibly make you cry, but will certainly make you think.
