FACE OFF 2009 Show

The SMASHBOX FACE OFF has featured the talent of up-and-coming photographers for over 14 years. Originally conceived to give photo assistants a chance to show their work, FACE OFF has evolved into a major catalyst for young creatives seeking exposure. This year’s competition assembled an eclectic panel of high-profile judges, who selected 50 entries from over 500 submissions. The images were judged based on creative excellence alone and exhibited on December 3rd during our FACE OFF Opening Night Bash.

1st Place: Ryan Rogers for “Loneliness.”

2nd Place: Hector Santizo for “Homecoming.”

3rd Place: Stevie Mada for “Untitled.”

And an honorable mention to Brandy Eve Allen.
