Photography Awards: Service Feature, Single or Spread

Service. It's one of the backbones of any great magazine, helping the reader to know more, make better decisions, be empowered to improve themselves or their surroundings. Just because magazines have been providing service since the very beginning though doesn't mean that any of these Medal Finalists for Photography in the Service Feature category are ordinary shots, standard or expected solutions. Far from it: the photography here is sharp enough to draw you in, even if you weren't thinking you needed to know about the best in cameras, get it together to start running, stop slacking on your enviro cred, get a grip on what's going on inside your brain at 40, or understand some of the underlying issues in your personal universe. Take a look at the finalists after the jump....
