As 2019 comes to a close we are reminded that we have such an amazing year on AIBP with the 161 entries that were placed in this year\u2019s \u201cbest of 2019\u201d contest. Truly amazing work from everyone that entered.<\/p>\n

First we start with a few words from our Judge Susan Pizarro-Eckert<\/strong> – Celebrated New York Boudoir Photographer and Author, http:\/\/www.liboudoirphotography.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thank you for the invitation to judge this contest. I\u2019m sooo in awe of the talent in this group! This was NO easy task but I thoroughly enjoyed it\u2014preferring it to sleep apparently! <\/p>\n

There are so many things to look for when judging images: concept, impact, styling, lighting, composition, posing, focal point, retouching, story, emotion\u2026 As I went through the images some were so amazing in several areas but could have used development on others\u2014i.e. a FABULOUS concept but retouching was too much or too little or too inconsistent and ended up detracting from the concept overall. In many cases, only ONE thing kept it out of the top 10 list. <\/p>\n

As someone who learned to shoot strobe first, natural light second, I\u2019m a stickler for lighting, so lighting above all became the most distinguishing factor across the images.<\/p>\n

Best wishes to all for an amazing 2020!<\/p>\n

Now let\u2019s get onto our winners!!!<\/p>\n
