fay_cori Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 In my emailed newsletter from Leica I see that the winner was Andrea Hoyer, German-born Leica photographer now living in New York. And another woman, Vanessa Winship, a Brit living in Athens was one of the two others highly commended. I�m not a feminist but it is nice to see the girls doing well. Some of Andrea�s images are very interesting. What do others think?

lutz Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Strong pictures, throughout. Thanks for the link, Fay. BTW, isn't it the second time in a row that the winner is female? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fay_cori Posted July 17, 2003 Author Share Posted July 17, 2003 Yes, Lutz, you are right. Narelle Autio, a young Australian. I didn't know that before - just read it on the Leica webpage :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotografz Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Notice that a majority of her shots feature a pretty deep DOF? Close in on a foreground figure, and everything to the horizon in focus. No Bokeh issues there. Inspiring stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph_barker Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Thanks for the link, Fay. Both Hoyer and Winship produce interesting work. It's also interesting that both concentrated on similar themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Herbert Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Interesting Post. A very pleasant change from the usual 'HCB' discussions! These are endlessly talked about until we disappear up our rears and pop out of our mouths? I thought the photos showed sensitive insight, coupled with a clever eye. Thanks Fay.

h._p. Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 I thought the pictures were interesting but I also thought that Andrea Hoyer's tilted shots were a bit too much after the third one. Obviously, the judges didn't agree with me. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
