<\/a><\/p>\nPress 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\u2019s victory over Stoke at St James\u2019 Park.<\/p>\n
He also included striking images of Chelsea forward Daniel Sturridge celebrating his goal against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light, and Newcastle United\u2019s Papiss Cisse embracing the net in celebration after scoring against Bolton Wanderers at St James\u2019 Park.<\/p>\n Owen Humphreys commented: \u201cI\u2019m delighted to receive this award from Barclays. Last season\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Jenkins commented: \u201cIt 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\u2019ve worked hard over the years to capture iconic moments, so it\u2019s great that this has been recognised by the judges.\u201d<\/p>\n David Wheldon, Barclays Managing Director of Brand, Reputation and Citizenship, said: \u201cLast season was one of the most exciting in Barclays Premier League history with Manchester City winning the title in the last minute of the final game of the season. The photographers have captured many of these moments of the season with Owen and Tom\u2019s submissions coming out on top just ahead of some other excellent entries. We congratulate them both, and all those who entered.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
