Thank you to all the photographers that shared their commercial style photos. Our judges were looking for photos that you would see in a magazine, billboard or any other advertising channel and you, the participants, once again succeeded to impress all of us. Commercial photography relies on lighting, setup, final touches and so many other factors that can become easily overwhelming when attempting to have a final capture. So... get inspired and view amazing examples within the gallery of this photography competition.
A special thanks to our friends at Tiffen for making this photo contest possible and to friend and professional photographer Chris Collacott for his collaboration as a guest judge!
Congratulations to the Grand Jury Winner "Gin & Tonic Splash" by Eduardbetz
"Very well executed technically, this image was my winning pick as it not only clearly communicated the product/brand, the perfect splash and lemon created that desire and thirst for the product. This is exactly what you want for an image for advertising. Quickly communicating the product/brand and desire/need which would result in a purchase. Well done!" - Chris Collacott
Congratulations to the First Runner Up "Gourmet burger" by robplato
"I can see this in a menu at a restaurant, and it makes me want to pick it up and eat it. Good placement of the background glass of wine to balance off the overall composition, and I actually like the image not being perfectly horizontal as it makes me feel more like I'm going in for the bite." - Chris Collacott
Congratulations to the Second Runner Up "Appleton" by ricardowilliams
"This image clearly demonstrates the product/brand and with the ready to drink glass, the desire. The rustic background works very well with the product giving a sense of contrast between the smooth taste of whiskey in a "rough" environment. Well done!" - Chris Collacott
