Most definitely, my most successful category this year at the awards was the portrait category. I have put a lot of work and effort into this genre and I was extremely pleased with the outcome. Out of four prints entered, I achieved a 50% strike rate with two print both achieving Silver Awards.
I simply cannot go past this without showing the two prints that ‘just’ got away, missing out by only one point to get up to an award. Both of the images included below achieved a score of 79, but most certainly were not the losers on the day. Each image brought about a challenge from one of the judges at the time, and I was thrilled with the discussions that ensued.
What this does for me is re-fuel my energy and gives me the encouragement to strive for that next level and to continue to improve my skills. My ultimate aim from each of my portraits is to tell a story about who you are; this, in turn, will continue to tell the story in the future about who you were.
