BEST PORTFOLIOS

The majority of contest submissions were single photos, but many contestants sent more than one, and a good number of these portfolios were impressive. Company's judges recognize the best portfolio in both amateur and professional categories: Paul Totah, who won first place in the amateur category, and Harold Baquet, who took first place in the professional category. Here we present an additional photo from each of their portfolios.
