Thank you
so much to all the gals at Snap Maven for asking me to be a part of such an
amazing community. Picking favorites was so hard because there were so many
talented artists submitting images.
Here are
the ones that really spoke to me...
I was so
intrigued by this photo. Genetics have always fascinated me. This idea of
combining two brothers into a single image felt fresh and interesting.

This image
is so thought provoking! It is definitely different. I felt like the woman was
battling within herself between two sides of her personality. One side that is
more wild, free and spontaneous and another, stronger side that is shy and
reserved. And they are separate, as if to say that other side is finally,
slowly coming out of her.

Okay first
off I just adore sun flares, but this one feels so unique to me. I love the way
the light is tunneling towards the little girl, like a spotlight just on her.
<<<>>>
It's not
just a silhouette, it's an oof silhouette and it is fantastic. I love that the
little girl is not just standing on the floor next to the window, she's
actually up in the window so you can see her entire frame. I thought the
processing was amazing on this image as well.
<<<>>>
Okay, this
image is just so insanely great!! I am a little obsessed with double exposures,
you throw in a mardi gras mask and a cute toddler in the mix and man oh man...
all I can
say is super well done!!
<<<>>>
Talk about
different and just plain cool! This photo is so interesting. I have no idea how
it was achieved. Was it a fish-eye lens that they covered a portion of? No
idea, but the boy alone with his turquoise glasses and partially inflated pink
balloon are pretty awesome. Love those pops of color too. Okay, I could go on
and on, but you get the point.
<<<>>>
There is
so many different things going on here. The sun flare is incredible. I love
that only the child's legs are visible. I love the motion, running toward
whatever is beyond the light. The colors are so bright and warm, I really love
this.
<<<>>>
I thought
this photo was very unique in its perspective. I have seen a lot of reflection
photos before, but not really done with newborn photography a whole lot. Most
times newborn photographers, myself included, focus on close-up features and
straight on shots. I love this idea of a baby in their own element and
remaining very unobtrusive and natural.
<<<>>>
What I
thought was different about this image was how the girl seems to blend into the
environment and yet stand out at the same time. You would think that because
she is oof and there are so many flowers that it would be distracting and
overpower her , but it doesn't. She's soft and airy and yet remains a very
strong presence in the image.
<<<>>>
This is
just so lovely. It's different in several ways. Most portraits focus on eyes or
the whole face. You rarely see hair as the primary focus. I think the sense of
movement is great. I love the dreamy blur as well.
<<<>>>
...and the winner is..
This image
whispers nostalgia with it's grain and purposeful blur. It has a great sense of
play and mystery with the masks. What I really love is the differences in their
body language. The girl speaks to maturity and the boy is the portrait of
childhood and fascination. This is a nod to old film days and to me it is pure
genius!
<<<>>>
Wow, what
a compilation of incredible talent! I am a huge fan of thinking outside the
box and creating art that is true and from the heart. I feel like all these
images embraced that ideal so well.
Congratulations
to you all!
