Judges' comments

This portfolio was very well executed. The images were very cinematic and created a haunting dystopian feeling that draws the viewer in and creates a feeling of wonder, mystery, and intrigue. Images that make you feel something and make you want to know more always stand out. The photographs made me want to know more about these scenes and the moments before and after, and how the subjects arrived there.
Chris McGrath

In a world of excess imagery bombarding us daily, we now have only three seconds to capture a viewer’s attention. For me, this portfolio did just that – its haunting beauty grabbed my attention through the very skilled use of light and composition. I also commend the editing of the images which creates a thread of theme and effective storytelling. Peter Brew-Bevan
