From Trump’s controversial Chelsea moment to high-jump heroics, the world’s best sports photographers gather for Sports Journalists’ Association gala

Yaroslava Mahuchikh of Team Ukraine competes in the Women's High Jump Final during the Novuna London Athletics Meet.

Julian Finney has been a Getty photographer for over 20 years and won multiple honors for his incredible sports photography, but the SJA Canon Sports Photographer of the Year title had eluded him, until now. The talented sports photographer picked up the prestigious Ed Lacey Trophy at the British Sports Journalism Awards on April 27 during a gala at the London Palladium.

The Canon Sports Photographer of the Year is selected by the judges from the category shortlist of entrants for demonstrating an “outstanding range of photographic skills”. As such, it wasn’t Julian’s only visit to the stage. He also picked up the Canon Portfolio category prize for the second time in his career, while also landing bronze in the Picture category and having his work shortlisted in the Football Portfolio, Specialist Portfolio, and News Picture categories.
