2014 Q3 Photography Contest Judges

Judges

  • Sometimes we are asked to go beyond the church and reception and that is when we can provide a great gift to the client. I liked that the photographer went the extra mile to provide this photo to the bride. The composition is a bit tight, but I was happy to see it in the mix.
  • It's a bizarrely touching scene as a bride pays respects to an ailing friend or family member. I liked the way the photographer weighted the scene heavily with all of the gadgets and gizmos of modern medicine, a small reminder of how we are all attached to something in hope of life. In the same way, think of the bride's gown as a similar attachment to traditions that afford us a glimmer of hope for the future. But, if not, then merely look at the gaze between bride and patient because that's enough.
