Suszi McFadden Awarded Grand Prize in Shadow & Light Magazine

Ellen Gilkerson | Published on 7/20/2022

PACC member Suszi McFadden has been awarded the Grand Prize and Cover Image in the recent Color It Red Special Edition of Shadow & Light Magazine.  The jurors were Tim Anderson, Ann Hart Marquis, and Pat Berrett.


Suz’s winning series, Laura in Crimson, features traveling model Laura New Myers.  Laura is a professional freelance international model, art director, hairstylist, makeup artist, and costume designer.  Laura’s wig, makeup, and outfit were originally a bright purple color.  When Suz heard about Shadow & Light Magazine’s special edition, she set out to colorize each of her favorite eight images to fit the magazine’s July/August Color It Red issue.  She is thrilled that all eight were accepted for publication.

Suz says:  To be honest, I’m still a little bit in shock.  I am honored to be selected among such amazing and talented photographers.  I am also grateful to club member Brandon Stauffer for telling me about the “Color It Red” opportunity. I love how everyone in this club is so supportive of one another.  I am inspired by you all daily.

 

The jury says:  The votes are in and the jury has left the building!  Congratulations are in order for Suszi McFadden for her electrifying portrait.  The final results were a challenge only because of the competition.
