Photo Trekking Contest

So I wasn’t one of the chosen photographer for the top-five finalist for the contest. I do want to say thanks to the talented Nick Onken for the opportunity though. I also want to say thank you to all the people that voted for me in this process, I appreciate all the support and encouragement. The five photographer that got in deserves being in the final and I hope all of them the best of luck. If I can choose the winner from the top-five, I’d choose the first picture of the boy. The expression and glaring eyes are just captivating.

This was my first contest for photography…wait scratch that its my second but the other was from my photo teacher back in AAU. I almost didn’t enter this contest, cause there’s always a fear of exposing yourself to other photographer who’s photo might be “better” than yours but I’ve learned that people see different things. A judge can have a style of photo that always attracts him/her, but it doesn’t mean yours was a total waste if it wasn’t chosen. I also have confidence with my pictures, I know how hard I work creating an idea and how much hours I put into my craft. With all that you can’t help but to feel good about your art.

In the near future, I’ll be looking for more opportunity (contest), because as much as nerve-racking it is, a photo challenge is always fun and it helps me grow as a creative individual. So keep on going and always enjoy the experiences on your way.
