Communication Arts 2019: 7 images shortlisted, 2 selected

For the second year in a row, I will have two separate projects featured in the Communication Arts Photography Annual. (Here are last year’s picks.)

The two images selected are Myles Gaskin, the University of Washington star running back, soaking his feet. And Kevin Ninh, known as “Flawless Kevin,” who does makeup tutorials and LGTBQ videos on Instagram and YouTube. They were both taken for the University of Washington magazine.
