Corbis Images , a leading visual media provider for the creative community, today announced the winners of its prestigious Creatives Behind the Lens competition which recognises the talents of creative professionals in the Asia-Pacific region who double as amateur photographers.

The competition received more than 600 entries from Australia, Hong Kong, Taiwan and China, and the top 90 entries will have their work featured online and published in the Creatives Behind the Lens exclusive print piece, with exposure to thousands of creative professionals.

The 10 winning entries are as follows –

All 600 entries were judged by a panel of esteemed industry professionals in China, Hong Kong and Australia, including Julian Melhuish, creative director at Saatchi Design Sydney, Marc Gafan, editor of Capture Magazine, Vince Frost, founder and creative director of Frost Design and Australian photographer Tamara Dean.

Says Michele Yeung, marketing director for Corbis in Asia Pacific & Global Channel: “In 2009, our first year of running the competition in the Asia Pacific region, the entries we received were of an incredibly high standard and among the best in the world, and this year the bar been raised even higher.

As the entrants are not professional photographers, the judging panel was asked to score the entries based on visual appeal and uniqueness of composition over technical execution.
