Phottix-The-Phoblographer-contest-for-holiday-2014

Before I even continue and truthfully start this post I want to say a couple of words.

First off: thank you.

Thank you for a seriously great competition of judging almost 1000 images with loads and loads of great portrait photos. Many of you already demonstrate admirable knowledge of lighting and others demonstrated a wonderfully creative eye in their work.

There were loads and loads of votes on a key select images, and as we stated before, the popular vote has not won.

We found a lot of great photos in the pool, but only one has won the studio portrait kit from Phottix. However, we’re going to profile three other photographers whose work is exemplary.

So who won?

The Grand Prize winner is Pile Divlje with this photo (2 votes)

Congratulations to the grand prize winner and to all of you for putting up one heck of a contest.
