COMPETITION RESULTS
February’s competition was High Key/Low Key, for projected images only. Lori Lankford was our judge. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic the competition was held remotely over Zoom.
There were two categories judged: Advanced Projected (i.e. digital images) and Novice Projected. No Beginner Projected images were submitted. The Print categories are suspended until we start in-person meetings again. Awards are given for first, second, and third place, and multiple honorable mentions (HM) – the number of awards depends on the total number of entries in the category.

David Terao ~ High Key Portrait
I took this image at Don Becker's portrait workshop in which he was featuring his granddaughter, Kelly, who is a model. The studio set-up used two mono-lights with a white background. In Photoshop, I converted the image to a high-key image and changed Kelly's eye color from green to blue and lightened her hair color.

1st Place: Maude Svensson ~ Low Key Portrait
2nd Place: Marc Auerbach ~ Frigid Day on the Plains
3rd Place: Kay Carkhuff ~ Lydia in High Key
HM: Diane Sanders ~ Magnolia
HM: Maude Svensson ~ High Key Harte
