Amateur Photographer of the Year

Round Four Perfect Portraits

Judith wins £1,000 worth of Sigma kit (based on Sigma's RRP) of her own choice for her excellent portrait. Sigma has a number of lenses that are great for portraits, one of which is the 50mm F1.4 DG HSM Art (£749.99, left). Constructed from 13 elements in eight groups, and with outstanding, natural bokeh and minimal optical aberrations, it sets a new standard for 50mm lenses. It received a well-deserved five stars when reviewed in Amateur Photographer.
