Icelandair recently had a promotion to find the world's worst travel photographer. The goal was to see if Iceland's gorgeous scenery could stand up to even a terrible photographer. The winner, Blanche Montemard from Paris, won a 10-day trip to Iceland and $50,000, and will now spend some time photographing the scenery of Iceland. Hopefully she won't butcher it as much as she did in her photo of the Statue of Liberty, which is a silver blur in an even blurrier background.
In her profile, she states that her weakness is "photography," and her strength is "delusion." 😂 Her statement on winning?
For years, friends and family have asked why my photos always look disappointing. I’m thrilled to finally have an answer: I was training for this role. This project celebrates imperfection – probably the only photography competition I ever stood a chance of winning.
