2016 Q3 Photography Contest Judges

Judges

  • A very classic behind-the-scenes photo, but also well done. The number of expressions caught was a bit unique, and this angle can make a powerful statement about the bride. Nice work.
  • Every face focused on the bride should be studied and lingered upon to really view their emotions.
