Photography Competition 2019
On Friday the winners of this year’s photography competition was announced. The judging panel consisted of the Headmaster Mr Lawson, and last year’s winners Mrs Lathbury and Louis Wood. All judges were overwhelmed by the photographic quality of the Eastbourne College pupils, staff, parents and Old Eastbournians. This year the theme was ‘journeys’ and some extremely high quality work was submitted.
The first place images, which were shortlisted, will be featured in the Nugee building. Congratulations to James Zhou on winning the junior prize for this year’s competition, and to Max Faulkner-Bryant who won in the senior category. The adult category featured images from staff, parents and Old Eastbournians and the joint first place was for OE Stuart Marshall and Miss Burford.
-
- A sunny road lined with tall palm trees under a blue sky and scattered clouds. Two people walk along the left side whilst another walks ahead, their shadows stretching across the pavement—an ideal scene for a photography competition.
-
- A series of five side-by-side portraits of the same young woman, created for a photography competition, progress from a clear colour photo to increasingly distorted and abstract black-and-white versions, ending with a heavily damaged, almost unrecognisable image.
-
- A boat speeds across a calm river at sunset, leaving a foamy wake behind. The sky glows with vibrant red, orange, and purple hues, creating a stunning scene perfect for any photography competition.
-
- Blurred image of bright green motorway signs and streaks of car lights at night, creating an abstract effect with wavy lines—perfect for a photography competition showcasing motion and the vibrant energy of a busy, lit carriageway.
-
- A night sky filled with stars and a faint constellation, above a silhouetted landscape with trees and a subtle purple hue near the horizon. A dotted line, possibly an aeroplane, crosses the sky—captured for a photography competition entry.
-
- A large concrete arch bridge spans a deep, rugged gorge with green foliage below, partly shrouded in fog. Captured for a photography competition, several people and vehicles are visible on the bridge as hills rise steeply in the background.
-
- A man wearing traditional clothing carries a large, blue-packed load on his back whilst walking on rocky terrain, with snow-covered mountains and a partly cloudy sky in the background—an inspiring moment for any photography competition.
