THE FACE OF DEFEAT

Here are some images from, Photographer Sandy Nicholson's latest book, 2nd.
Sandy decided to photograph the 'losers' from a range of contests and competitions rather than focusing on the glory of the winner, he took a closer look into getting 2nd place. Through the series of photographs one can see how important coming first is to people, the look of disbelief and 'if only' makes the viewer relate to how it feels being second best, not the best. Each of his subjects were photographed just after hearing the results or standing down from the '2' podium so you really get a sense of reality and disappointment. An interesting collection of work to look at.
