Workplace photography competition winner

We can now announce the winner of last month's workplace competition. It is Drew Lawrence aka 7tenths . Our judge, Simon James, publisher of F2 Freelance Photographer magazine says of Drew's work: "I'm drawn to Drew's picture because of the manner in which it successfully shows the smith at work. An environmental portrait is a difficult shot to get because you need to see both the skill or technique under discussion and the concentration in the eye of the worker. It's not difficult to get one of the two but much more difficult to get both, which this shot so clearly achieves." We had many strong entries for this assignment. People clearly enjoyed the challenge of photographing people in action. Yiannitsa Cegarra aka macaquitalinda used black and white very successfully, using good light and composition. Other notable entries included Maxine Moss's shot inside a tattoo parlour, a great insight for those of us who will never be brave enough to go in ourselves. Thanks everyone for giving your time and effort to enter.
