Northwest – March 2026 – Portrait

Judges Comments

First place is best example of someone's character shining in a photo, even if it's not the best technically executed photo. Second also show great character while using your environment to create an interesting portrait. Third place shows great understanding of studio lighting. Alternate is a good photo to go with the story it is telling.
