Judges Comment

This entry has so many layers we found ourselves returning again and again to try to read the photograph and try to decide what made us do so. A sleeping couple in a bed, arm in arm, naked feet on the table, possibly a photographer leaning back on his chair to capture the moment, a bottle, a Choccomei cacao milk and a story to unfold in the mind of the viewer. This is the winner of the I-SHOT-IT competition 4th quarter 2014.

Photographers Comment

As a young Dutch photographer (born in 1993), the winning of this prize is an enormous support for my future work. I am a friend who takes photo's, not a photographer who is allowed to come close. The past half year I have been working on a serie, based on that theme. My goal is to take pictures that capture unfeigned moments. The book will come out soon. For those who are interested, the shot was taken with a Sony a7 and a Voigtländer 35mm 1.4. Edited in Photoshop, with some added Nik filters. Of course I am honoured with the prize and the recognition for a picture from my first complete series, but at the same time, I hope that some of you will look at this shot and think: "Why on earth did the photo with the feet win this contest?".
