PDN has announced the winners of its 2011 Faces portrait competition with a big gallery section in the August issue. The contest is among the most popular sponsored by the magazine, so you can just imagine how many entries were competing for the admiration of the four judges: Jade-Snow Moy Joachim, who is a photo editor at The New York Times; Manuela Oprea, an assistant photo editor at Bloomberg Markets magazine; Zana Woods, senior photo editor of Wired; and photo marketing and portfolio consultant Neil Binkley.
Among the winners in the Celebrity/Editorial Portraits category were Matthias Clamer, for his photos of Tina Fey and Steve Carell, taken for Parade magazine when the movie Date Night was coming out; and Doug Menuez, whose portraits of Cate Blanchett and Hugh Jackman are from the body of work he produced while documenting the series Iconoclasts for the Sundance Channel. Here’s a look at their images, as selected by the Faces judges. For the full list of winners, go here.
