Portrait Photo 2020

Gold

Texas Highways, “Long Live Willie” by Sam Jones

There is so much detail in this photo–the foliage, the wood, the textiles, the clouds and Willie’s skin. All together these textural elements make for a stunning portrait.

 Silver

Kansas!, “Creating the Next Generation of Beekeepers” by Justin Lister

This captures the importance of the bee and the role beekeepers play in sustaining them. Excellent environmental portrait.

Bronze

Arizona Highways, “The Medicine Man” by Mylo Fowler

The deep tones and sharp detail capture the strength and reverence of the subject.

Saltscapes, “HIKING WITH ARMED LOOKOUTS – IN CANADA” by Dave Brosha

I feel like I’m standing right beside the man in this photo. I know that face, and I can see him searching for something–I can feel it.
