Spanish photographer Samuel Aranda has won the World Press Photo 2011 award. The prize comes for his image of a woman holding a relative wounded during protests against Yemen’s President Saleh. The World Press Photo Contest 2012 also awarded prizes in 18 other categories ranging from Arts and Entertainment to Portraits. Some of these images may be familiar from news coverage throughout the year but they make a compelling and inspiring reminder of the breadth of photography, even within the confines of press usage.

DVD Contest Winner + Vote for 1 More!!!

13 Dec

The Winner!!


Nicola Taylor
http://www.nicolataylorphotographer.com/

Wow! I have to say, there were some really outstanding submissions for the Fashion Photography Exposed DVD contest tweeted to me this past week. So, first off, a BIG thanks to everybody who participated in the contest and especially to those who even joined twitter for the first time just to submit your photograph. It was amazing to see everyone jump on this contest and tweet their work to me!

I have spent the last day trying to narrow down the list of great photos to just one single shot and I’m having the toughest time. But I keep reminding myself that there can only be ONE winner. And the winner’s name is Nicola Taylor from the UK. I love the ethereal, surreal feeling with Nicola’s shot and it depicts the element of “Air” very well. It has a very occult feel in my opinion and I love Occult-Lore. It reminded me of a Gothic story, very dreamy and sensual with a “Neverland” feel. Great job, Nicola! You had some tough competition but your shot really stood out for me.

BUT! Wait, I’m not done yet!

Because I had such a tough time choosing a winner I wanted to give the runners-up 1 more chance to score a copy of the FP Exposed DVD. So I have rounded up my top 8 selections and we’re going to let you, the readers here at the FP Blog, decide on the second winner! Same idea except obviously the second DVD is the second one off the press, not the first. But I will sign it and ship it off to you, no matter where you live.

How to Vote:

Choose your favorite photo below and click on the “TWEET” BUTTON TO VOTE!

Alternatively, you can tweet the # of the photo you would like to vote for example “#3″ and the hashtag text “#FPDVDContest @FPblog” via your twitter page. So your final tweet would look something like “I Vote for #1 Fabio Gloor in the #FPDVDContest @FPblog”

Rules:

  • Please only 1 Vote Per Twitter Account! So only tweet us 1 time!!!
  • Re-tweets from friends DO COUNT AS VOTES!!!
  • The photo with the most votes, WINS!!

VOTING ENDS IN 48 HOURS ON FRIDAY DECEMBER 9TH @ MIDNIGHT EST!!
WE WILL ANNOUNCE THE WINNER THE FOLLOWING DAY ON SATURDAY DECEMBER 10TH

After an incredible Twitter Frenzy, we have our winner ! It was a very close race, but after tallying all the votes, our winner is Reikko Navarro, who I might add here, won by a mere 1 vote on Twitter. Congratulations, Reikko! We’ll be sending out your DVD to you right away! Thanks to all 8 photographers who participated in the contest. I honestly loved everyone’s photograph and to me, you’re all winners!

Some other important news: Due to an overwhelming demand we’ve decided to make our DVD available as a digital download! We understand that some of you don’t want to deal with waiting for shipping. In fact, what we’ve heard more often than not, is that some of you don’t even want to have to wait at all! Since I aim to please, now you can watch Fashion Photography EXPOSED instantly!

Okay I have a Launch Party to get ready for tonight (if you’re in NYC, come drink and be merry with us at Home Sweet Home in NYC) and a 10 page editorial to prep for next week. Theme of the shoot: Blood. Oh yeah. You know I’m totally excited about this particular shoot! Stay Chill. Peace out! xoxo
