Judges’ comments
“Some of the strongest work mixed different types of images, but held a narrative that engaged me.”
“It is important, at this stage, to demonstrate your dedication and commitment to making images, to take risks, and to trust in your own abilities. Not trying to do too much with your photographs is sometimes what can lead to beautiful and rigorous outcomes.”
“What brought a portfolio down was when photographers’ selected images didn’t work well together. When you enter a competition like this, you have to look at the body of work, not individual images that you stick together, to prove you are an all rounder.”
JUDGES
Daniel Boetker-Smith, Earle Bridger, Sally Brownbill, William Long, Joel Rainford, Chris Tovo.
Category prize: A Lowepro Pro Trekker 400 AW backpack valued at $425.
