Kingfisher High School photography students once again demonstrated their tradition of excellence at the annual Oklahoma Camera Club Youth Photo Contest. Competing against students from across the state, KHS photographers earned an impressive 8 first-place awards, 10 second-place awards, 10 third-place awards, and 58 honorable mentions in both print and digital divisions.
Three students earned the contest’s prestigious “Best of Show” recognition:
• Fredric Belin
• Caleb Johnson
• Wyatt Long
Students recognized in the competition included: Madison Allen, Hadley Banther, Fredric Belin, Blake Bollenbach, Noah Clayton, Maddux Gomez, Finley Harrison, Melany Jimenez Ramirez, Caleb Johnson, Wyatt Long, Camilo Marquez, Olivia McCann, Landon Merritt, David Owens, Savana Reherman, Davis Sanders, Zoey Sanders, Sara Tellez Blanco, and Abbey Wallace.
Students competed in categories including Architecture, Photojournalism, People/Animals, Scapes, Monochrome, and Color Photography. Their accomplishments reflect not only artistic creativity, but also a strong understanding of composition, lighting, storytelling, and the technical foundations of photography.
The continued success of the KHS photography program is made possible through the support of the administration and the generosity of the Board of Education. Their commitment to providing students with high-quality cameras, computers, software, and classroom resources allows students to continue developing their skills at a high level.
We are incredibly proud of these students for their dedication, creativity, and the outstanding way they continue to represent Kingfisher High School.
