RULES

• The winning photo will be chosen based on originality and overall quality by our guest judge Judith Pishnery, professional photographer and SCAD/Atlanta professor. Pishnery has been immersed in the field of photography for over 25 years. She was always artistic, encouraged by her grandfather, and when she discovered photography her future was determined. She has worked with corporate, editorial and advertising clients creating images for brochures, magazines and other printed materials, throughout the US and abroad. Her fine art photographs have been shown and collected internationally. Along with creating photographs, she has been sharing her passion and expertise by teaching photography students in various art colleges and schools for more than 20 years. She leads creative photographic workshops in the US and abroad and is currently a professor at SCAD/ Atlanta. See her work at http://www.pisconeri.com/. All decisions are final.
