First winner of the Fujifilm Student Awards 2013

Some of you strongly criticized the last winner (see my post here). Now the winner of the first Fujifilm Student Awards 2013 has been announced. “The theme for this year’s Award is ‘The Colour Of….’ with students being briefed to capture an image that illustrates how colour lights up their world.”

The winner is Jade Danielle Smith.

“Jade’s image, a self-portrait laying amongst shadows, impressed judges with its beautiful tone and use of natural light. Together with her entry, Jade provided a commentary that caught the eye of the judges, forcing viewers to question what ‘colour’ ‘means to them… On how she took her image, she said: “Using [shoplink 7829]Fujifilm’s Superia 800[/shoplink] film, I placed my [shoplink 7827 ebay]Canon AE-1[/shoplink] with a 50mm lens and positioned it on a tripod with a ten second timer and naturally placed myself into the direction of where I wanted the light to fall.”
