  • JUDGES’ COMMENTS <br /> “I think photographers need to be really tight with their edits. Remember, judges have no back-story. The image alone needs to be powerful and communicate something about the photographer’s point of view or style. The style needs to be unique as well, otherwise the images need to be exceptional.” <br /><br /> “I’d like to see portfolios where the photographer’s individual style shines through, and more imaginative work where the photographer has stamped their personality on their portfolio. The series of six images needs to appear as a strong and cohesive set.” <br /><br /> “It’s a common thing to see young photographers struggling to find a style, presenting a mismatch of styles instead, which is a big downfall.”
