Top 5 in “Kattanjki Fotópályázat” for Krisztián Csalami
"This was a Hungarian competition where we sent a recent photo and an old photo to show our improvements, and I was in the top 5."
Gold from the Guild for Katie Brockman
Bronze from The Guild for Emilia Nuttall
"I was asked to photograph a litter of chihuahuas which I was thrilled to do, I got everything ready and used their male chihuahua as my practice subject. Using the noises I had learned from watching Jess's tutorials I easily caught his attention with a head tilt. The edit has a background colour change from grey to green which I wouldn't have managed without the help of the masking tutorials and explanations of layers. I loved this image so much I entered it into the guild of photographers image of the month and my photograph of Teddy was awarded a bronze award. I was thrilled that my first entry scored so well, I will never forget the feeling when I saw my results. Thank you Jess for pushing me to improve the quality of my work."

"I submitted what I thought was a throwaway image that was just sitting on my desktop. This was the image that received the HC, a photo of a calla lily. This was taken when I was sitting at home bored, so had a wee play at a still life."

Bronze from the Guild and HC from the NPS for Jade Collier
Merit in The Tog Awards for Nicola Elliott
"Jess definitely helped me achieve this as I had just watched the video on how to use natural light and barn to photograph this type of image. Although I had some idea how to achieve this, watching the video definitely gave me the confidence to do it when I found the perfect barn at the shoot. It wasn’t planned as I didn’t know they had the barn!"

"Here is my first ever entry into any kind of a contest. Thanks to Jess's instruction, I felt confident enough to put my art out in public. Imagine my surprise when it won BEST IN SHOW! It was at the Merrill Oregon Potato Festival 2021 Photography Contest. (Yes, potatoes are a big deal here.)"
