Getty Photographer Matt Gardy has been awarded Press Photographer of the Year. His stand out image was during the British elections of David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Gordon Brown that managed to capture the uncertainty and awkwardness of the relationship. The shot was featured in double page spreads in The Guardian and the Daily Mail.

"It is a real honour to win this prestigious award, given the incredibly tough competition in this category," says Cardy. "I am thrilled to have been part of the Getty Images news team and their support has made this winning work possible."
