For the submissions, impact is the most important element for me, I really want to see an image and be in awe!
I admire creativity and intention, it tells me that the maker has been selective about what they have chosen to enter and been specific about what they want the image to convey.
Uniqueness! I love to see something new or different!
Tianna Jarrett-Williams – Tianna is a maternity and newborn photographer based in Birmingham, United Kingdom where she has a small studio near to the city centre. Her love for this speciality grew from her past career as a professional and registered nurse and midwife. Whilst photography began as a hobby after the birth of her first daughter, she quickly fell in love with the craft and soon became consumed by the desire to be creative. After navigating a few specialities, Tianna settled on the art of pregnancy, motherhood and newborn photography because these genres in coalescence with her passion for women becoming mothers and their journey through motherhood inspires her daily. Whilst the primary focus is on maternity and newborn photography, Tianna does enjoy creative and styled projects with a special interest in culture which often can be appreciated in her work. Tianna lives with her two young children Zara and Olivia; and long term partner Ashley, near Birmingham.
As a judge in this photography competition, my focus extends beyond technical mastery. I am drawn to submissions that go beyond the surface, capturing raw emotions, genuine connections, and fleeting moments that resonate deeply with viewers. In essence, I am seeking photographs that tell stories, evoke empathy, and provoke thought, transcending the boundaries of technique to leave a lasting impact on the viewer’s soul. So, bring forth your images that speak volumes beyond the pixels and embrace the power of storytelling through your lens.
