The “Keyshawn Davis” photo story was masterful in its execution of the narrative arc, highlighting the extreme ranges of emotion throughout the Davis brothers’ fights. This essay not only demonstrated careful control over the technical elements, but a fantastic visual variety that worked to heighten tension as the story progressed. Intentional framing and patience for the right moment was evident in these frames. Many of the images could stand on their own, but it was a pleasure to see them as part of a cohesive body of work.
The additional entry displayed technical skill, but felt repetitive and lacked the narrative arc required for this category. We felt a select few images would be better suited for the general news category.
