Motivatia juriului este:
„The differing styles and graphic nature of Craig’s two portfolios caught the judges’ eyes with the stormy Scottish landscapes providing a stark contrast to the graphic images of Paris. These landscapes, from a personal project called „Dreich” (an old Scottish word to describe wet, grey, miserable, dank weather), aren’t done justice when reproduced small on a screen in this gallery but the prints come alive with subtle moodiness.
Aside from being striking graphic images, the Parisian silhouettes illustrate the photographer’s creativity in overcoming the restrictions faced by travel photographers. Shot into the light, the semi-silhouettes were darkened to overcome French privacy and copyright laws, when shooting in lower light was not possible because of the new restrictions on shooting the Eiffel Tower when it is illuminated.”
