\n The winning image was taken on the Shambles in York and features a dancer performing in the historic street.\n<\/p>\n
\n The picture was selected from a shortlist of 40 images chosen by photographer Dave Pearson, from Kirkbymoorside, to represent his work from the past year.\n<\/p>\n
\n More than 4,500 public votes were cast, with the Shambles image emerging as the overall favourite.\n<\/p>\n
\n The dancer pictured is Jasmine, one of the photographer\u2019s ambassadors who regularly works with him on creative projects.\n<\/p>\n
\n The image was created during a nighttime photoshoot in York, combining movement with the character of the city.\n<\/p>\n
\n Dave Pearson, who works under the name Robert David Photographer, said the response to the public vote took him by surprise.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI honestly didn\u2019t expect it to take off the way it did,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cPeople really got behind it, shared it, and voted. To have an image of a dancer taken on the Shambles resonate with so many people is lovely.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The photograph captures a moment of performance set against one of York\u2019s most recognisable locations, blending dance and street photography in a way that connected with voters.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The dancer pictured is Jasmine, one of Robert\u2019s ambassadors who dances with Sabatino Performing Arts Academy in Hull. Jasmine said: \u201cI am delighted to have won Post Of the Year 2025! I absolutely loved creating this image and several others on my Christmas photoshoot in York. Dave is honestly the best photographer out there and creates such an easy atmosphere during shoots, I also love being a Robert David Photographer Ambassador. Thank you to everyone who voted for me I am again very grateful.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
