Judges
Andy Adams – The Flak Photo Network
For the past five years, Andy has applied his creative passion for image-making and the arts to projects that explore the intersection between online publishing, social media, and community collaborations in contemporary photography. Adams’ projects include The Future of Photobooks, a cross-blog conversation that considered the impact of internet culture on photographic practice and 100 Portraits — 100 Photographers, a digital exhibition of current portraiture that has shown at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Australian Centre for Photography and numerous festivals in the U.S. and abroad. This year, he teamed up with the Museum of Art, Rhode Island School of Design to produce Looking at the Land — 21st Century American Views, a web-based survey exploring the evolving landscape photo tradition.
In his spare time he maintains FlakPhoto.com, an online art space, which has continued to celebrate the culture of image-making by promoting the discovery of artists from around the world since its founding in 2006. Andy’s enthusiasm and goodwill for all things photo-related not only involves curators, editors, publishers, and gallery dealers, but also a commitment to help emerging, or otherwise unseen artists get exposure, which is why Resource couldn’t imagine a more fitting guest judge for their student-based contest. Andy is a perfect model of media networking and creative collaboration, encouraging online audience communication, using social media to promote the artists he works with, and coordinating interactive photo events, real-time photographer interviews, and a series of comment conversations for Flak Photo’s Facebook friends and Twitter followers alike.
