Simon Garn from Liverpool is being heralded as a David Bailey for the cameraphone generation after claiming the coveted title of Cameraphone Photographer of the Year 2007 with his image entitled ‘No waiting’. Simon beat off stiff competition from finalists Nicolas Martina with his image ‘1eme Jour a Lisboa’ and Hollie Morgan’s striking image of graffiti.

As well as scooping the Cameraphone Photographer of the Year title, Simon wins a fantastic round-the-world trip for two people to five countries. Simon was also entered into Sony Ericsson’s global cameraphone competition, World View.

Simon said, “I’m so excited to be crowned Cameraphone Photographer of the Year. The standard of pictures in this year’s competition was very high so I am pleased that my image was chosen. I love photography and having a new cameraphone means I can take more pictures when I am on the move.”
