Matt LeBlanc Art Photo Competition

I've always loved photography. I have to say that I'm not really good at it but I really enjoy looking at someone else's work. In a sense, it's very close to what I do. It's definitely a form of art and it takes practice, dedication and a lot of creativity to deliver that perfect Kodak moment.

I'm launching the
Matt LeBlanc Art Photo Competition
. This is a new initiative I'm creating purely for the fun of it but also to challenge photographers to push the limits. Ever since I've started my art career, I've strived to push the boundaries and do things that have never been done before. Creativity will get you noticed. This is the type of artist I want to be. This is at the cornerstone of Matt LeBlanc Art.

The idea of this photo competition is fairly simple. I am inviting photographers to come over to my studio and choose a piece of art to use for their project. They will then have three weeks to create a shot of their choice that incorporates the piece of art. This is their chance to get very creative. They can create a studio shot or bring the art outside and find the perfect place that will become their next masterpiece. A committee has been put together to select the finalists and my fans will decide who should win this competition and get the bragging rights. The winner gets to keep his piece of art.

I've posted a blog entry earlier this week and I was overwhelmed by all the emails I received from professional and amateur photographers.  I've decided to draw names to make this fair for everyone who didn't see the blog post right away and also create two categories.  Should be a fun project !  Thank you everyone for your interest.
