Winner
Waif (far right)
Photographed by Emma Goulder
Shot details:
Canon EOS 40D
with 17-85mm lens
at 73mm and f7.1,
1/200sec, ISO 100
“To create a clean and simple portrait, I
used a portaflash to the front to light
myself and then a flashgun directly
behind my head to give a rim light effect
through my hair”
“This is such a beautiful portrait with great dynamic range. I love the
backlit hair and the light that falls off to highlight the wonderful bone
structure. A brilliant self portrait”
In The Grass (right)
Photographed by Emma Goulder
Shot details:
Canon EOS 40D
with 17-85mm lens
at 66mm and f11,
1/100sec, ISO 1000
“ I wanted to mimic Spitfire’s hair with
the grass. As the grass was in the
shade and I wanted him to be more
prominent in the photo I used a
flashgun to the left”
“Emma’s portfolio is diverse, but all the images are striking. This
portrait really tells a story with the lighting and setting creating a
great ambience”
Whitby (below)
Photographed by Emma Goulder
Shot details:
Canon EOS 40D
with 17-85mm lens
at 17mm and f8,
1/200sec, ISO 100
“ My idea was to create a different view
of Whitby. I used the pier as a lead into
Whitby and the lighthouse. I placed the
life buoy to give interest to the left side of
the photo”
“This image is like a lesson in great composition. The wooden pier
acts as the perfect lead-in to the image and the lighthouse on the left
keeps the shot beautifully balanced”
