Atlanta, GA (Vocus/PRWEB ) October 30, 2009 — While many photographers dream of seeing their images on a national magazine’s cover, that dream rarely comes true, but for Shan Canfield in Nashville, Tenn. (also known as Mama Shan), it will in November. Mama Shan won Professional Photographer’s Cover Contest–open to all photographers–beating out almost 4,600 other entries from around the world.

Along with Shan, 20 other photographers from the 2009 Cover Contest will be recognized in Professional Photographer’s November issue: five top finishers and 16 honorable mentions. Narrowing the entries was difficult, as all wowed the judges with their real-world portrait, wedding, commercial, and event photography. Many of the images also met the technical requirements for a cover, including vertical orientation, composition that allows for the masthead, immediate impact and a subject relevant to the readers.
