Congratulations to our award winning photographers!

This year at our annual conference, we held an image competition.  Image competition is a way for our photographers to gain recognition for their work and it is very much an exercise in learning!  Each image was scored on a scale of 1-100.  Portraits scoring 80 or above earned the distinction of “Image of Excellence.”  Judges critiqued each image based on the five characteristics of a Spoiled Rotten Portrait:   Award Winning Images

  1. It is Authentic
  2. It is technically Excellent
  3. It has flattering Posing
  4. It is Impactful
  5. It has pleasing Composition
