February 2022 Hi Key/Low Key Competition

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.   

See an image that speaks to you? Let the photographer know next chance you have!

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.
