Winner NIK competition
For the last 2 months we have been running a NIK competition on Google+ and today I’m proud to announce the winning image.
It’s always incredibly difficult to do a judging when there is so much good material and this time there was a load of great content, because there were some stunning images it was extra difficult to not go just for the perfect lighting or model shot.
I asked the photographers to send in different images, meaning from most we got 2-3 images this way it was also possible to see the quality of their work in their submissions (not just a lucky shot), and where I also looked for was something that was not “easy” to do. For me that meant that almost all studio/posed etc. work would be very difficult to win, I wanted something that struck me in my core as a human being and photographer.
When I saw the images I got from Aldwin Cusi this happened and I asked him to do a guestblog on my blog about his work. Everything just clicked with his images and seeing the responses from the readers of this blog and the visitors to the online album I was not the only one that liked it. In the end I went for this image.
Congratulations Aldwin.
