Kristina Daugherty – KJBoudoir<\/p><\/div>\n

Congratulations to Kristina Daugherty from KJBoudoir<\/a> based in Chesterfield VA.<\/p>\n

Nino’s selected this image because \u201cThis one got me at first because I could not tell where the mirror was. I knew there had to be one, but it just looked like two subjects staring at each other across the room. Once I sorted out what was going on, I especially enjoyed how the concept was treated with a serious tone. Lingerie and that mask could go very campy very fast, but it didn\u2019t, and the overall tone here and the post production work keeping it moody and subdued, really works very well. It\u2019s bold and borders on erotica, and that is definitely never a bad thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

James Graf<\/p><\/div>\n

1st runner up is James Graf.<\/a><\/p>\n

Nino’s comments on this image \u201cAt first I was hesitant to select this one, but it’s pure glamour, and in that regard it works so well. I like the slightly overexposed background, I like the absurdity of the outfit (yay, glamour!) And the subject face not being seen. Adds a sort of air of mystery to it, and keeps it from being cheesy (which in this scenario could have happened easily). It\u2019s sexy and well produced, and evokes even an odd storytelling element.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amy Laskye – Amy May Photography<\/p><\/div>\n

2nd runner up is Amy Laskye of Amy May Photography<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nino’s comments on this image \u201cI am always partial to detail shots as they usually add some intimate intensity, and I especially like the various textures going on here. I think monochrome was a great choice as well. Highlights and shadows are kept very nicely in check, and that there’s plenty of contrast but everything is very clear. Very sensual but also fine art like.\u201d<\/p>\n
