WHY I ENTER PHOTO COMPETITIONS

I have been a photographer for most of my life: from taking point and shoot photos at summer camp to owning my own studio, my subjects have been varied and interesting. 

These days, most of my photographic work centres around humans - creative portraits, headshots and personal branding. During the winter I spend a lot of time in the studio. But that doesn't mean it's the only thing that I photograph. My camera comes with me ...everywhere! Always the questions - which lens to I bring and which bag to carry them in?

When I am not working I find myself analyzing the light, looking for pleasing compositions and often asking myself - "What would the judges say?"

Entering competitions encourages me to continually hone my skills and push boundaries. Photographing different subject matter helps to open my creativity and expand my thinking. What I learn from photographing one subject improves my work in other areas. 

It is also fun. 

Below is a gallery of some of my images that have done well in competition.
