Child Photo Competition 2015 No 5 Results
Sohail Karmani from London (now based in United Arab Emirates) has won the child photo contest with a striking portrait shot. Portrait photos taken with a narrow depth of field can really make the face and eyes the focus of the photo and give a feeling of depth. Perhaps what gives this photo its winning charm is that the boy has a natural scruffiness. It works well as black-and-white emphasising the detail without distracting colors.
Sohail Karmani has won $310.00 and a Leica C worth $700. Thank you to everyone who entered one of the 155 entries, and to the judge Lisa Alessandra Kutzelnig.
As the Leica C is being discontinued the next Child photo contest will have a cash prize starting with a whopping $500 and rising by $2 with every entry. By the time the competition closes to new entries the cash prize could be very large.
