Time Out Supports the KL Photoawards 2010
After an impressive and much praised inaugural 2009 awards, klphotoawards.com and time out kuala lumpur Bring to you the 2nd international kl photoawards 2010 contemporary portrait photography competition.
Entries received in the 2010 event saw a variety of excellent portraits, coming from both categories, Professional and Non-Professional. As well as strong compositions and concepts in several series, technical quality was generally high. It was also encouraging to see many finalists continuing to use traditional film medium to capture their portraits and we hope to see this trend continue and the advent of more considered 'slow photography' take a resurgence, despite the onslaught from 'fast-paced' digital photography.
The KL Photoawards 2010 has become a truly global events with close to 1700 entries from 38 countries and 86 story entries. The entries were judged by a panel of 6 expert judges. The judges were Ms. Gwen Lee, founder of the Singapore International Photography Festival; Ms. Soraya Yusof Talismail , one of Malaysia's foremost fine art photographers; Ms. Stephanie Fong, Founder of FOST Gallery; Mr.Lim Chee Wah, travel journalist and editor for Time Out KL and Mr. Khairul Azril Ismail, a professor in photographic history and practice at UiTM.
It was tough for the judges to make a decision as there were several contenders for the prizes. In the end the judges reverted to the competition guidelines which sought artists rather than camera operators. We present to you, the winners of the KL Photoawards 2010:
