Just Friends Photo Contest Winners

Thank you to all the photographers that shared their best photo showing people being friendly in the Just Friends Photo Contest with chances to win a Concepter and more!

"Just Friends is probably one of the hardest Viewbug competitions I’ve had to judge to date. There was a lot of great images - perfectly composed and beautifully lit, processed and executed, and I wanted to select more than just 3 images, but unfortunately I couldn't.

I judged this contest with a more photojournalistic approach, so it was the images that naturally told the story of what it meant to be Just Friends were the ones who won out in the end." - Mark Gee

A special thanks to our friend and professional photographer Mark Gee for his collaboration as a guest judge in this photo contest. Mark Gee is an award winning photographer & digital visual effects artist based in Wellington, New Zealand. He has worked on many high profile and Oscar award winning feature films, and his love of the New Zealand landscape is a big part of the inspiration for his photography. Mark’s film, ‘Full Moon Silhouettes‘ gained him international acclaim after going viral, and in 2013 Mark won 3 categories in the prestigious Astronomy Photographer of the Year.
