Henrik and Eve enter the Fat Tuesday's annual competition

This year we once again entered the Annual Fat Tuesday Gallery, Photo Competition. The brief for this event was Portraits and Poetry, entries had to include a print of a photo at least A4 in size and some text, either an original piece of poetry or some other text quoted from anywhere, a book, song lyrics, whatever. Henrik and I put our heads together and then decided on two entries each.

I chose a picture from a recent shoot with the Fabulous Famous Jana (our favourite model for her bubbly nature, stunning good looks and versatility) Henrik also selected one of his entries from one of the first shoots he did with her quite some time ago.
For my second entry I chose a picture I took of Carrie Michelle Wilson at a test shoot I did with a new make-up artist I hadn't used before, Chrizanne of Chrizaane's Makeup Artistry and Hair Styling.
Henrik used a shot he took of Alternative Model, Shanon, which formed part of his Halloween Serial project last year.

The standard of entries this year was very high and we attended a social evening with snacks to view all the photos and hear the judges decisions.

I was fortunate to be chosen as one of the prizewinners winning one of the first prizes in the category, Best Concept (where the photo and words were looked at as a whole concept rather than individually). Other categories were Best Portrait (for the best portrait overall) and Best Poem (specifically for those who had penned their own original text).

This is the first time I have won anything in this competition so I am very excited that I am growing as a photographer.

Here is my winning entry:
