  • JUDGES’ COMMENTS<br/> “The quality of the photographer’s vision is what we need to see more than the quality of execution. You need to pick shots for their emotional impact, but not be emotional about the images.” <br/><br/> “Some aspiring fashion photographers had bad models. If you want to get into fashion, get the best model you can. The viewer sees the image, not the potential of the image. This goes for makeup and styling as well.” <br/><br/> “I think it’s important for image-makers to have their own unique way of shooting or post-production method that sets them apart, and makes the work recognisable as their own. Some portfolios were ruined with over-the-top or poor retouch work.” <br/><br/> JUDGES<br/> Tim Bauer, Peter Collie, Grant Matthews, Zena Holloway. <br/><br/> Category prize: Full-day studio hire at Sun Studios to the value of $2,000.
