Judges

David Akoubian

Check out the feature we just published on David Akoubian’s extraordinary career. David has been photographing for about 40 years and working as a nature photographer since 1993. He specializes in the grand and micro landscape. Having learned his craft from some of the legends of the nature field, his work is the combination of “old school” technical and draws the compositional aspect from his days training as an illustrator. David has been an instructor for 20 years as well, sharing his love and knowledge of photography and nature with students and camera clubs. David’s work has been featured in galleries, calendars, magazines and textbooks.

Charley Voorhis

After attending a tech school for production then moving onto film school at Brooks Institute of Photography in Ventura California, Voorhis launched, Voortex Productions in 2004. Focusing primarily on promotional documentaries, and short films, often working with towns and communities, he applies a signature style to his productions. Telling an emotive story takes precedence, keeping things simple, elegant and authentic. He understands somethings are better left un-told and merely shown.
