Norbert Waning and Gérard A. Goodrow join the jury for the Felix Schoeller Photo Award 2015
Osnabrück, 23 October 2014
The Felix Schoeller Group is delighted to welcome another two renowned representatives of different areas of professional photography to the jury for the 2015 Schoeller Photo Award. Norbert Waning and Gérard A. Goodrow complete the jury, which is chaired by internationally renowned portrait photographer Michael Dannenmann and includes Ellen Dietrich, head of photography at "Die Zeit" weekly newspaper and Thomas Gerwers, co-publisher and editor-in-chief of ProfiFoto magazine.
From 1987 to 2014, Norbert Waning was Chief Executive of the German Association of Freelance Photographers (BFF), one of Europe’s most prestigious professional photographers’ associations. He was responsible for, or on the jury of, over 120 photo competitions and organised more than 200 exhibitions in Germany and abroad. The Felix Schoeller Photo Award will now be able to benefit from this experience. We also look forward to the experience Gérard A. Goodrow brings to his work on the jury. In the last 25 years, he has organised over 50 art and photography exhibitions in Germany and abroad. The freelance curator and writer has worked for Christie’s auction house in London and ART COLOGNE art fair. He has been a lecturer at the Center for International Arts Management (CIAM) in Cologne and Düsseldorf since 2007.
“I am delighted to be able to work once more with such a highly renowned and competent jury for the Felix Schoeller Photo Award 2015. Their cumulative experience in exhibitions, research and teaching, professional publications and photojournalism, and therefore their different ways of looking at the work submitted, will further enhance the Felix Schoeller Photo Award’s quality and reputation as a professional photography competition,” said Michael Dannenmann.
