• WINNER<br/> Melbourne-based photographer Mihai Florea incorporates his minimalist life philosophy into his photographic style. Most of his works are shot in black and white, incorporating his ability to capture light, tones and shades. He uses these essential elements to create images that are strong and powerful with high contrast, or soft and gentle. He often utilises long exposure techniques to create a sense of reality and allow the flow of nature to be visible in his images. <br/><br/> mihai-florea.artistwebsites.com

  • JUDGES’ COMMENTS<br/> “I know Photoshop and other editing programs are brilliant tools, but in my work for architects, I can’t risk that the viewer will be thinking more about effects than the actual building. As such, I generally try to limit my retouching as much as possible.” <br/><br/> “Many of the folios would have benefited from the photographer having a stronger, clearer idea of what they were trying to do, which could have been achieved by having a stronger, clearer understanding of the subject matter they were seeking to capture.”<br/><br/> “You should always straighten the lines - either use a tilt-shift lens or do it in the final editing. Architects don’t like seeing their buildings distroted.”<br/><br/> JUDGES<br/> George Apostolidis, Tim Griffith, Stefan Jannides, Martin Schubert, Derek Swalwell. <br/><br/> Category prize: Manfrotto 190XB & 804RC2 tripod kit valued at $299 courtesy of Ted’s Cameras.
