In July I posted that National Geographic Adventurer was offering free photo critiques.
Some WR fans gave it a shot, and now we can say congratulations to Andrea Johnson for having her picture chosen. NGA chose three photos out of hundreds, and had their photo editors give their critique.
Exposed: The Inaugural Reader Photo Critique
The critique of Andrea’s photo
We can give Andrea another big congrats because she was also the winner of the Book Passage Travel Writers and Photogrpahers Conference photo competition. I wasn’t there, but heard about it later. Maybe Andrea can chime in on the comments board and tell us about the photo that won and what she got. It was the second award she’d won in under two weeks. The previous award was for $800!
It’s great to see her building her photo career. Hire Andrea now, or follow along as her portfolio builds at Andrea Johnson Photography.
Jen,
Thanks for the kudos! I submitted 6 photos from my Nepal trek that represented ‘sense of place’. The prize is outfitting gear for a year’s worth of travel (travel clothes, packs, shoes, etc) from Any Mountain Gear – I’ll pick it out in October when I’m in San Francisco.
Of all the contests or recognition I’ve received for my photography thus far, the Book Passage grand prize was by far the best. Being awarded the prize from such a talented group of professional photographers & writers was just the inspiration I needed to jump start my career.
