"What the Judge Really Saw: Arno de Bruijn Reviews Round 24 Entries"
Ever wonder what goes through a judge's mind when they look at your entry? Now you can find out.
In this exclusive Flash Masters feedback session, Ambassador and wedding photographer Arno Rekers from the Netherlands walks you through his Round 24 judging process, image by image. He covers the shots that were close but didn't quite make it, explains exactly what was holding them back, and then reveals his standout five, the images that genuinely stopped him in his tracks.
Arno is warm, direct, and genuinely invested in helping you grow. This isn't harsh criticism. It's the kind of honest, constructive feedback that can completely transform the way you approach your next shoot.
Whether you submitted this round or you're planning your first entry, watching a judge break down real images in real time is one of the most powerful learning tools you'll find. And as a Flash Masters member, you get full access to this session and every judge's feedback video in the archive.
Want to know what it actually takes to earn that award? Hit play.
TOP 5 THINGS YOU WILL LEARN
- What "almost" actually looks like. Arno walks through the images that were strong but didn't quite earn an award, and the surprisingly small tweaks that could have changed everything.
- How colour relationships can make or break a shot. You'll discover why certain colour combinations keep showing up in winning images and how to start using them intentionally in your own work.
- The composition principle Arno comes back to again and again. Once you hear him explain it, you'll start seeing it everywhere, and you'll never frame a shot the same way.
- What judges notice that photographers often overlook. From distracting backgrounds to highlight control, Arno shares the details that quietly pull a great image down, and how to fix them.
The mindset shift that separates improving photographers from stuck ones. Arno closes with a philosophy on mistakes and growth that is short, simple, and genuinely worth hearing.
