World Diabetes Day (on Nov. 14, 2017) marked 10 years of the Alberta Diabetes Institute opening its doors at the University of Alberta. Portraits of Diabetes is a celebration of this milestone. This portrait series offers a glimpse into life with diabetes—the highs and the lows of living with this chronic disease.
From the Judges' Report
Beautiful, technically perfect photographs that evoke the individuality and personality of each subject through thoughtfully conceptualized poses, props and expressions. There is an intensity and authenticity about the expression and gaze of each subject that establishes an emotional connection with the viewer. The relationship to the publication and institution is clear. The technical details -- tones, framing, negative space -- are consistent across all images, making this feel like a cohesive set. Proofs submitted were high quality.
