Judges Takes

Creativity and out-of-the-box thinking are prized in this competition, but in a time crunch, it's easy to take things at face value. In order to help give you a better idea of how far you can go in your interpretation of the themes, last year's judges have gone out and shot last year's themes. Each of these photos represents a take on one or more themes, and were each shot within a 2 hour window, including driving, getting props, arranging models, and processing.
