My series PASSERSBY has been selected as one of the Jurors' Picks in
"The entry contained some of the strongest traditional street photography in the entire competition.
If I could, I would pull this photograph out as a single and nominate it instead,
as it has everything I look for in street photography:
a moment in time never to be repeated, shown from a well-developed aesthetic point of view.
Although I do like the photographer’s technique,
to me the series relies a little much on deep shadows and
I would prefer to have seen a little more variety in lighting conditions.
But on the whole the series is very well done -
playful, interesting and dynamic and
something that a viewer can find new details in upon each viewing."
