We announce our abstract/fineart judge- the multi talented @rosie_hardy #photography #abstract
Rosie Hardy is a conceptual art photographer based in the Peak District. Her surreal self portraiture and creative photo manipulations capture escapism at its prettiest. Hardy has been shooting for a decade, working her way as a school girl trekking through fields – with the cheapest equipment money could buy – (clutching handfuls of props and looking rather out of place) to trekking through fields with slightly more expensive, mud covered equipment, but lots more confidence and excitement.
Her “Big Break” came at age 19 when she was discovered by Maroon 5, and was asked to shoot their album cover, “Hands All Over”. Since then, she has worked with numerous brands such as Microsoft, Pandora and Random House, as well as celebrities and musicians, but she still loves to shoot a decent wedding and just can’t seem to stay away from those fields…
Her work is inspired by emotion and human connection, and the comfort that can be found in art during times of loss and heartache.

We hear from Anne R. Hoerter 1st Runner Up Abstract/Fine Art #photcontest May 2016 #photography #London
I have always been fascinated with the negative/positive space and the movement of plants. This fascination has helped me to survive in an environment of domestic abuse. It has allowed me to find strength and recognize my determination to leave something bad and to reach for something good.
My work takes months to complete because I first disassemble the plant, photograph each piece with a variety of photographic methods and then reassemble the pieces together. The final image can have anywhere from up to 50 single images. With this process the distinct character of each plant species seem to breathe and move. They develop their own visual character.
1st Runner Up
We hear from @TS446photo 2nd Runner Up Abstract/Fine Art #photcontest May 2016 #photography #London
Tony Sellen is a self-taught, award-winning photographer. He is passionate about fine art, long exposure images and, based in London, the City is where Tony finds most of his inspiration. Tony set up his own website (www.LondonFineArtPhotography.co.uk ) to display his work and is also now successfully selling limited edition prints through it. London Fine Art Photography has images of London, other cities from around the world, seascapes, landscapes and nature. Tony travels extensively with his camera always at the ready, capturing whatever the world has to offer. Always looking to progress as a photographer, exhibiting and entering competitions is a great way to gage progression. Having previously exhibited at London Photo Festival, it was a great opportunity to have the chance of entering the Abstract / Fine Art photo competition.
Tony was delighted that his two photographs ‘Bright Idea’ and ‘Can’t See The Sea’ were selected in the 20 finalists. With ‘Bright Idea’ taking the 2 nd Runner Up spot. The photograph was of a spiral staircase taken in the city of Prague, Czech Republic. From the bottom looking up it takes a fabulous light bulb shape with the light shining through the windows on the top floor.
2nd Runner Up
