He has also won several awards for his monochrome photography. During 2010 he had one of his images win the Landscape Photographer of the Year Award. The piece was commended by the judges of the Take a view and won a place in the Awards book. In addition, the piece was also displayed in the National Theatre exhibition. Cherry also picked up four awards at the International Photography Awards.
He has also received several other commendations from various worldwide photography competitions. Cherry’s passion for black-and-white photography began with the great photographers’ classic images. It wasn't until he discovered the more recent works of artists such as Michael Kenna that his interest really developed into more of an obsession. Cherry loves the beauty that can be conveyed through light and contrast and the simplicity of monochrome. He has always had a very keen eye for symmetry and lines, so this style really appeals to him. Most of his long exposure shots are taken around the sea given that he lives by the coast. This has also provided him with good amount of subjects.
