ADVICE FROM THE JUDGES
Our judges were asked to provide their tops tips for anyone planning on entering in 2023. Here’s what they had to say.
ANIMAL
▪ A number of submissions felt more like series or sequences, rather than a portfolio. This narrowed their opportunity to stand out in an exceptional field.▪ Shades of difference separated the winners. Often it came down to what the photographer brought to the situation, the level of difficulty, consistency in the approach, and editing of the work.▪ It’s challenging to present a narrative in three photographs, but the winners did just that.▪ When curating a portfolio, you want to choose images that work cohesively together to either tell a story or that visually complement each other. I saw a lot of excellent single shots in this category, however there were many instances where the other images chosen were either lacking in technical ability or did not support the narrative
