NYFA photography alumnus Rutvik Katuri has made a splash in the Rangefinder Photography Annual Contest, winning first place with his series “Holi Colors” and “Fashion Forward.” Katuri’s work “Holi Colors” had previously been published on the cover and as an editorial spread in “Imirage” magazine, while Katuri was still a student at the New York Film Academy.
According to its official website, “Rangefinder” (Rf), is an award-winning magazine focusing predominantly on weddings and portraits. Their annual contest offers immense exposure and exciting cash prizes to winners, providing a unique platform to expand their audience and forge new connections within the photography industry. Winning photos also find a place of honor in the magazine itself, which circulates to a global audience of 111,000, as well as on the official Rangefinder website.
In addition to cash prizes, Katuri’s winning photos will be featured in the September issue of “Rangefinder,” in ’The Senior Issue’ on page 66-67, as well as being showcased at WPPI conference & Expo as well as in the online gallery. The digital version of the magazine can be seen here.
