Best Magazine Photo ( Less than 15,000 Students)Back
Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: Cal Baptist University Entry Title: Pursuit Cover, Summer 2021 Entry Credit: Camille Grochowski Judge Comment: Great cover photo. Dynamic lighting and positioning of subject. Compelling and complementary color palette. The motion in the fabric draws the eye to the magazine masthead.
Place Name: Second Place Contestant Name: Pepperdine University Entry Title: Clothing Across Cultures Entry Credit: Megan Williams Judge Comment: The larger image of all subjects together is perhaps a little redundant. But the portraits below have strong emotions portrayed that pull the viewer into the article. Even having those images larger, and instead of the larger portrait would have been perhaps stronger. one can easily see the connection with the photographer and the subjects was dynamic. Great lighting overall. Considering the times we are in the spacing on the top portrait makes sense.
Place Name: Third Place Contestant Name: Humboldt State -- Osprey Entry Title: Mushrooms of the Redwood Coast Entry Credit: Abraham Navarro Judge Comment: Great overall image that connects with the title of the article. Perhaps to make it stronger is to have had the people within the image sharp rather than the book as the main focus. Great idea of a simple one image for the article. Great framing overall.
