THE
JUDGES
You did not have to have extra vowels and S’s in your name to be a judge of the Whalebone Magazine Photography contest in 2020. But apparently, it helped. Danny Clinch, Walter Iooss and Morgan Maassen are really nice guys, but they aren’t always able to look at every photographers' work they might like to. Lucky for us and our participants, they had some extra time at home in 2020 and were happy to spend that time helping us to find and celebrate some awesome photographers.
WALTER
IOOSS
One of the greatest sports photographers in the world known for his images of Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Tiger Woods.
DANNY
CLINCH
Photographer and film director famous for his music photography.
MORGAN
MAASSEN
Award-winning surf photographer and filmmaker.
