📷📷BeScouted Photo Contest WEEK 1 - PORTRAIT: The Winners 📷📷

I knew it will be hard to judge and pick the winners and it was. This is not a race so nobody comes first and judging art is very subjective. That is why i will try and provide my best possible reasoning why i have chosen specific images.

THE WINNERS

@victorbz

The Main Prize: 10 SBD established from my own humble earnings and 1 year BeScouted Expert membership worth 99 EUR.

I have chosen this image because it captures emotion and concentration of the artist at his most intimate moment: the performance. Even though it is a posed shot both the model and the photographer managed to recreate a genuine feel of the moment that connected me to the shot. I also like the quality of execution and choice of light.

@lighteye

30% of liquid steem and 1 year BeScouted Expert membership worth 99 EUR.

And again an image carrying an artistic character. I love how duality of yin and yang worked well with the color choice of black and white. It is really interesting to analyse how our brain interprets the colors and the meaning our brain gives to it. While black and white is not actually a color it still evokes emotion and causes a reaction. White is GOOD. Black is EVIL.

@restyler

30% of liquid steem and 1 year BeScouted Expert membership worth 99 EUR.

While this image does not evoke any strong emotion i like sheer aesthetics of execution. Preparation of the model, makeup, hair and wardrobe styling. You can also tell that @restyler has good editing skills as skin tones are natural and overall editing is done with a good taste.
