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.

    Hi Aldwin,

    Congratulations, with also according to me the best frame! If this mans face could tell stories you would have to listen to him the whole night, without having boring moments. Thats what his face tells me.

    Cheers Stefan
