JUDGES’ COMMENTS
“The folios that stood out were able to demonstrate
originality, personality and mood. You create exceptional
portraiture when excellent technique combines with how you
interact with your subject, expression, composition, location
and light. These components can evoke an emotional
response within both the subject and the viewer.”
“I want to see something fresh - an interesting point of view
that makes me say: ‘I haven’t seen this before.’ By looking at
the images, I should get a glimpse into the heart and soul of
the photographer.”
