The Visual Student » Photo Contest Insights: Melissa Farlow
Every photographer who enters a contest hopes his or her images are recognized. I can relate. Over the years, my photographs have won and lost in contests.
I have helped edit my husband, Randy Olson’s portfolio when he won magazine Photographer of the Year and another year for newspapers. On the other side of the fence, last year I judged both Pictures of the Year International as well as the College Photographer of the Year contests. With this year’s judging coming up soon, I wanted to give a bit of insight into the process.
