Barclays EPL 2011/12 Photographer and Shot of the Season

Owen Humphreys and Tom Jenkins were this week announced as the winners of the Barclays Photographer of the Season and Shot of the Season. The awards honour the photographers who best captured the passion, excitement and drama that defined the 2011/12 Barclays Premier League season.

Press Association photographer Humphreys submitted a portfolio of five stunning images from the 2011/12 Barclays Premier League season, including a spectacular wide-angle shot of Newcastle United s victory over Stoke at St James Park.

He also included striking images of Chelsea forward Daniel Sturridge celebrating his goal against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light, and Newcastle United s Papiss Cisse embracing the net in celebration after scoring against Bolton Wanderers at St James Park.

Owen Humphreys commented: I m delighted to receive this award from Barclays. Last season s Barclays Premier League was one of the best I have witnessed and I feel privileged to have attended some of the best matches and have always tried to capture them in an imaginative way. Football photography continues to be such an important part of the sport, documenting stand-out moments for everyone to enjoy.

Tom Jenkins, a photographer for the Guardian and the Observer, won the award for Barclays Shot of the Season with a quirky and humorous image of a passionate young mascot for Swansea who is not amused at being left out of the player huddle ahead of their clash against Arsenal at The Emirates, scoring stand-out scores from all of the judges.

Jenkins commented: It is an honour to have won Barclays 2011/12 Shot of the Season, especially with an image that captures the quirky and fun side of football. I ve worked hard over the years to capture iconic moments, so it s great that this has been recognised by the judges.

These captured moments in time are what makes the Barclays Premier League the biggest continuous annual global sporting event in the world, with an estimated cumulative global audience of 3.9billion. Let us know what you think of the photographs and if they do indeed capture the passion, excitement and drama of football. Join the conversation online, on Twitter and on Facebook
