Jurors
Doug Bennett
Dabbling with photography back in the ‘70s, Doug didn’t really begin to pursue photography until 2003 when he bought a disposable film camera to photograph his tulips. Rekindling his passion for photography, Doug began his pursuit in photographing the landscape.
Doug’s love for landscape photography traces back to his childhood and family sightseeing vacations touring the western U.S. and Canada by car. These early experiences were further fueled by his father’s magazine subscription to “Arizona Highways” which always left him in awe with its beautiful scenic images, particularly those of Josef and David Muench.
Doug has pursued his photographic growth through Professional Photographers of America and their Annual International Print Competitions where he has had notable success. Doug is currently an PPA Print Juror in Training with a goal of becoming an approved PPA Print Juror.
Laura Bennett
Laura Bennett of Colorado Springs, Colorado has photographed the landscape since 2003 and even photographed weddings for three years. In her photography, Laura has focused on creating images that stir and communicate feelings and emotions. This led to her success in selling her images commercially for over 13 years and to significant success in PPA Print Competition.
Laura received her PPA Master of Photography degree in 2015 and her Photographic Craftsman Degree in 2017.
