25.01.2022 THANKS to everyone who entered the GCOH Focus on Architecture Photography Competition sponsored by Griffith University and congratulations to our winners OPEN CATEGORY WINNER Ben Blanche, winner of the GCOH 2019 Focus on Architecture Photography Competition, Open Category! (image #1) ... Judges said Ben's image intelligently captures the integration of the architecture with the landscape at Stradbroke House. A fun and perfectly composed picture, the materiality of the architecture is well captured and the cleverly placed stairs lead your attention up the frame where you can’t help but smile as you see the slippery dip set in the landscape. JUNIOR CATEGORY WINNER Congratulations to the winner of the Junior Category, Jenna Edwards (image #2) Judges said Jenna's image details a vibrant landscape set against humble architecture. The elements of the building appear to float in the background as plants and flowers fill the foreground and vignette the building. A strong composition, rich in colour. #gcoh19 #gcoh19open #gcoh19junior #winners
