Shadow Play

Winner - Louis L

The mercury is rising, but that didn't stop SoL's cool students from answering this week's Shadows photography challenge with a wide range of great shots inspired by the interplay of light and shade in all its many forms.

We love this winning black and white entry from Louis L, (supporting the school all the way from sunny London) for the way it uses shadows as its visual language.

Congratulations and a $50 SoL gift voucher are winging their electronic way across the pond.

Reflected Glory

Winner - Brian G.

Our 'Sunday School' assignments continued this week with a challenge to interpret the idea of Reflection.

In these momentous times we are being asked to examine who we are and where we stand, and the superb caliber of this week's entries mirrored the diverse talent of our students past and present.

As always, judging was difficult, but we finally settled on Brian G. as the winner for his complex, multi-layered image, which draws in the eye and rewards closer inspection.

Congratulations to Brian who receives a $50 SoL gift voucher, which we hope to see him redeeming soon, as we begin our steps toward a safe reopening.

Less is More

Winner - Monika S.

The latest in our series of ‘Sunday School’ assignments challenged our talented photography students to interpret the concept of Simplicity, and boy, did we get a brilliant response!

Tapping into the range of emotions we're all experiencing during the current pandemic, we were flooded with entries displaying technical and aesthetic originality of a very high standard that made judging anything but simple.

Congratulations, and a $50 SoL gift certificate go to Monika S. for her winning entry which we found both beautiful and unsettling.
