About the Juror
Reid Callanan, founder and director of Santa Fe Photographic Workshops in Santa Fe, New Mexico
Reid Callanan is founder and director of the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops, currently in its twenty-sixth year offering workshops to the international imaging community. In addition to educational programs in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Havana, Cuba, the Workshops partners with National Geographic to offer photography workshops around the world.
Juror’s Statement
I look at lots of images every day. Probably more than almost anyone in the photographic community, and I find this process exhilarating most of the time. Those few times when I am not so excited about looking at photographs are when the images are poorly crafted and not well considered. If I have to ask myself, "what am I looking at here?" —it's not a good sign. So, offer me photographs that have clarity in terms of what I am looking at and images that are well crafted. The second thing I enjoy is looking at images that surprise me—images I haven't seen before. This is a tough task in this day and age, but if you create images from your personal experience that tap into your emotions and imagination, I will take note and hopefully be surprised. Show me yourself in your photographs or something you are curious about. If I can't see you in your images, then I probably won't look for very long. . . .
