Action/Sports
Red Bull Photography(March 24, 2015) This is Marcel Hirscher skiing while being recorded for a video shoot. This photo is the best of its category because you can clearly see that the Hirscher is what the photographer wanted you to focus on. Also because this photo is not just a man skiing with snow but it also has color powder still in the air. The lighting is also a key element in this photo because the center part is all bright while the outside is darkened out. To help with the focus you can see that the photography blurred out the snow and that the skier is in main focus and view. |
Historical Event
Megan Gambino This image would win best of category because you can tell that the men are in their natural habitat and are doing what they would normally would do on their breaks. I also like it because it is in black and white instead of color because if it were it might look too "busy". I also like how you can see the city underneath them clearly and then behind them is more "blurred out" . |
Fashion/Brand/Product Marketing
James Johnson This picture is best of its category because with the rather dirty and messy background the shirts really stand out and make a statement. It also helps make the shirts look super white. I also like the main focus on the shirts and how that is the first thing your eyes look at. |
Wildlife/Animals
Diana Robinson This picture is quality because the elephants are absolutely adorable. The background is also blurred out so the elephants are main focus. Another important part is that the elephants are in the center of the image instead of the side because they are the only thing in the picture so this way it appears as if they take up more space. I also like the lighting and how you can tell the picture was taken at sunset even though you can't see the sky. |
