Photo Contest Winners 2024

The panel of professional photographers who served as guest judges for the 2024 SFR Photo Contest say choosing just eight winners proved to be a difficult task.

“What a great reminder that photography remains alive and well in our creative community,” says David Scheinbaum, of Scheinbaum & Russek LTD and College of Santa Fe professor emeritus.

Anne Kelly, photo-eye gallery director and one of Scheinbaum’s former students, says she saw a number of common threads in her favorite images.

“The element of mystery makes me revisit the photograph repeatedly, often discovering something new each time,” she says. “The other through-line in most images is that they convey the experience of living in Santa Fe without being images you would typically find on a postcard. "

For CENTER Santa Fe Programs Manager Whitney Wernick, the project served as a chance to consider photographers’ motivations.

“The choice to stop and document a person, moment, view, pet, anything while the seconds and minutes spin fast around us makes your whole body and meaning tingle. Or, at least, mine does!” she says.
