Calling all Nikonites!

I'm Julian, a professional fashion & advertising photographer of 15 years.
I'm running a competition, the winner receives an all inclusive Mediterranean island Holiday combined with tuition
on all aspects of fashion photography. If you haven't shot fashion before all the better, you'll learn loads!

The winner will reside in a luxury sea view villa for 5 days, benefit from all the tuition of the regular package and
enjoy BBQs under the stars, local wine on the house and Maltese breakfasts and lunches.

To enter the competition you'll need to email us your best 2 pictures of people.
These can be real people, street shots, family, friends or models. Entrants do not necessarily need to submit fashion shots.

All entrants must submit their pictures before 25/05/2012.

The entrants will be judged by my crew and the participants of June's 1st week holiday workshop
and the winner will be announced on June 14th.

For comprehensive information please visit the competition page of the website: JULIAN KNIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY HOLIDAYS - COMPETITION

If you've shot pictures of people just go for it!
Best of luck,
Julian

Julian I would love to come to your little rock in the ocean...I have always wanted to go there...but I am already going to central America this year so I won't be able to make it...not to mention there is no way in hell I would win with my snaps...hahaha

I have always preferred fashion and portrait photography probably because I prefer longer focal lengths and good looking chicks... :)

Ah don't be so sure Jeff, your snaps stand just as much chance. June's participants and the crew will look for charm as much as technique in the winner and the only requirement is that they're shot's of adults. We're not expecting Miles Aldridge or David LaChapelle as entrants! And although the winner is announced on June 14th, the winner's holiday workshop will be a few months later. Go for it!

Blimey you lot! Almost 300 views and only one competition entrant from nikonites.com.

We've got fashion designers as paying participants who don't even know how to turn a dslr on. PR agents in attendance to catch the story and a cliff-side mansion to reside in. Come on guys and gals send in your pics of people, it's a free photography holiday, food and drinks included.

Here's where participants and competition winners get to spend 6 days, my humble home:

Update - We now have 2 entrants from nikonites.com - good to see!

2 more days to go before the competition is closed (25th May 2012), would be great to see a few more entrants from this community.

Best,
Julian

Congratulations Marcel,

We had about 15 people on the June event including stylists, make up artists, fashion designers, PR agents, photographers and my crew. It wasn't an easy task choosing a winner, in the end you received the most votes. Your pictures were both incredibly sincere and beautifully executed, something subtle but powerful about your work won the day. The lady at the piano shot just stuck in our minds.

So to confirm and book your free place just email me at [email protected] and we'll take it from there.

Congrats to you Marcel. Malta is fantastic. I've only been once years ago but it was so good I still have good memories of it. Be prepared for some heat though!!! We went end of July; left Belfast it was 5.30pm, 13°C (55°F) and raining, arrived Malta 11pm it was 36°C (96°F) and dry as a bone! 45°C (113°F) during the day!!!
