Underground science conjures up Sudbury photographers

An worldwide award may very well be within the combine for 3 Sudbury-based novice photographers who’ll have an opportunity on the Global Physics Photowalk 2025 competition due to a contest just a little nearer to dwelling — however nonetheless about two kilometres underground. 

Tasked with capturing the folks and science that make Sudbury’s deep underground analysis lab tick, eight Sudbury-based novice photographers took half within the SNOLAB Photowalk Competition in May.  

Each photographer submitted 5 photographs, and following “an internal adjudication process,” 40 pictures have been narrowed down to a few. 

Those three photographs shall be submitted to the Global Photowalk Competition, created by the Interactions Collaboration. 

The prime three pictures from SNOLAB are: 

1. Delicate Work by Jason Innes 
2. Rough et prêt by David Gagnon 
3. SNOLAB underneath the floor by Ingris Leiva

A worldwide shortlist shall be introduced later in September, adopted by a public vote on-line. A number of the successful photographs shall be revealed within the CERN Courier and Symmetry magazine. 

In addition to the worldwide competitors, SNOLAB will curate native reveals of labor from all eight  native photowalk contributors later this fall. You can view a number of photographs from the  SNOLAB photowalk event online here.

You may observe the Photowalk on social media with #PhysPics25. 

“Thank you to all the photographers who gave their time and talent to help share SNOLAB  with the world,” wrote SNOLAB director of analysis, Ray Bunker, in a press launch. “Their work, like the science they document, is inspiring and I look forward to seeing it move on with photography from other labs.”
