Nikon has announced that the Photo London x Nikon Emerging Photographer Award 2025 has been awarded to two artists for the first time in its history: Silvana Trevale and Gabriel Pinto. The announcement was made during a ceremony in the Nikon Gallery, Somerset House, during the Photo London 2025 fine art fair, which runs May 15-18.
Trevale is a Venezuelan photographer whose work merges portraiture, documentary and fashion photography. Her practice celebrates the beauty of the human body, her Latin American heritage, womanhood, youth and the lived experiences of those around her. Her ‘Alma Llanera’ series reflects on the construction of national identity in Venezuela through the traditions of the plains, and the lived realities of its youth. Evocative, intimate and politically charged, her work speaks to the endurance of culture and the beauty found in resilience.
