The beauty and diversity of southern Florida were on display at the Coral Gables Museum recently thanks to the institution’s Capture Coral Gables 2020 photography contest.
After being announced in a gala Awards Ceremony, with over 800 in attendance, the winning photographs were displayed in the museum’s Community Meeting Room. The winner of the Grand Prize (and a Leica D-Lux 7 camera) was artist David Gary Lloyd, whose picture Falling Roots captures the local Banyan trees dwarfing a human figure.
Winners in particular categories include James Palma in Nature/Landscape, Robert Ruano in Night Photography, Ruben Hernandez in Street Photography, and Sebastian Elizondo in Portraiture for his work Faces of Miracle Mile, presenting a grid of local residents.
The photographs were judged by museum director Kirsten Vignes, Leica specialist Kirsten Vignes, and Miami Herald photo reporter Al Diaz. Perhaps the most striking composition was Lou Lozada’s image The Daily Juggling Act, which used digital editing to create an image of a young woman literally juggling three children. The picture, which won the Digital Photo Manipulation Award, symbolically captures the hectic schedules that parents face.
The images showcased the diverse styles and techniques involved in modern photography, which often intersects with fields like graphic design and Logo Design. In all, 23 finalists were put on display on the showcase, which closed last month.
