For the past few weeks, we’ve been pouring over the thousands of submissions we’ve received for Adorama’s latest web series “Top Photographer,” and have been overwhelmed by the sheer talent of the entrants. The reality competition show hosted by celebrity shooter Nigel Barker is something we are all very proud of. And for those of you still thinking about giving this a shot, the opportunity to be one of five finalists who could win a prize valued at $50,000 might be too hard to resist. But you better hurry… submission deadline is August 12.
But before we get into that, let’s present some of our favorite contenders, all of which can be viewed on Adorama’s Instagram feed. Ready? Here goes…
@stevierayphotography entered this amazing portrait:
In contrast to the image above, @motionography submitted this beautiful silhouette shot:
Nice camouflaged offering from @francisco.ortega.5439
In a word: “wow!” Stunning landscape photography from @rexjonesphoto
If only these were wings. Great photo by @aleksandrvillamariona though.
Nice, exotic shot of a river in Southeast Asia. Thank you, Richard Bryant.
Wait, Sansa Stark and her dire wolf I presume? Or another amazing photograph by @ironwoodwolves?
This underwater shot might be my favorite of the bunch (sorry @jvdasberraofficial, I ain’t one of the judges).
Perhaps you will look at these images with envy and think to yourself “I wish I was talented as that.” Or, even better, “ugh, I’ve got such a superior eye!” Well, perhaps you do. So what are you waiting for? Get out there, take a picture and submit your entry by Friday, August 12. Because who knows? You could be the first “Top Photographer.”
