MTS 25 Most Influential - 4

I can’t believe today is the day!  This contest grew significantly this year.  There were 797 images for Christina and I to judge.  This was clearly not an easy task.  In fact, I couldn’t get into the blog today to write this post.  My password was not working!  Thankfully Megan Evans let me use hers.  Christina and I poured over these images and went back and forth.  Right down to the wire yesterday!  But we narrowed the list to THE 25 Most Influential Teen Photographers of 2015!  I felt like we won a marathon!  So I am sure right now you want to see the list so I won’t keep you!

This year I also added a “Leading Legends” judge spot:

Christina Ramirez

I really felt the need to add a “Lifetime” status option.  This is picked by me and this year there are three photographers who will be the first inductees into this category.  These photographers are doing amazing work in this market and continually lift it up and educate and have been valuable resources for our Modern Teen Style readers.  They have been on my radar for sometime now and I want to recognize them for their contributions to this industry.  I believe they need to be recognized for their amazing work.

These three names are synonymous with teen and tween photography:

  1.  Shannon Sewell
  2. Stephanie Pana
  3. Amanda Holloway

Congratulations to all the winners.  Seriously, the images submitted were amazing and everyone should be proud.  I want to see EVERYONE who submitted featured in Modern Teen Style.  I was blown away wondering where have you all been????

xoxo,

Vickie
