Congratulations to Tessla Stuckey who’s image “At the Disco” won the competition!
– Christian Pankratz, Ostkreuz Agency chief editor & Competition Judge:
“The editor team and I were impressed by the submitted photographs. It was quite difficult to pick, but in the end we all have chosen this image. We came to the point that in this photograph we can see an emerging photographer who could work for many different clients. Someone who’s not only showing us a beautiful image, but a work with many layers in a contemporary style. We really enjoyed being introduced to so many talented photographers. Congratulations to all!”
Join us over on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter where we’ll be sharing all our favorite images from the competition. Congratulations to all the talented photographers who made it to the final!
