Shoot & Share Contest Results

I'm repeating myself here, but I wanted to post a blog and with better quality images. 

This year I entered 50 images in the shoot and share contest. Out of 332,768 photos worldwide from 141 countries with over 49 million votes, 7 of my images made it to the Finalist round, which is the top 3.5%, 12 made the top 10% round, 8 made the top 20% and 4 made the top 30%.

Even though I didn't place in the top 100 in their categories, I feel proud of how I did, especially up against all the AMAZINGLY talented photographers that entered the contest. The best part of it all is how inspired and motivated I feel to improve upon my work and push myself creatively. I can't wait to get out and start taking more pics this year!!! Here are my images.

Dance Session - Kasda

Last spring I advertised a model call for dancers, it is something that I've always been interested in doing more of. I had so much fun with these sessions and the lovely talented models. 

Kasda was my first session and she was just amazing to photograph, I loved the beautiful costumes she brought along. Doesn't she remind you of the Taylor sisters, Nikki and Krissy! Kasha is now pursuing modelling, check her out here on FB https://www.facebook.com/Kasda-Allen-Modelling-Portfolio-1705165666470987/.
