"Since I won the Grand Prize of the Emerging Focus Competition, I have shown my work at galleries and art fairs in London and New York... In terms of exposure, I think winning the award was a big push for my work. Not only was my work exhibited at Photo LA and at The Icon LA but I think it also gave my work more credibility. Weston Naef saw my image at the Photo LA exhibit and kindly told me that my picture deserves the recognition. You can't beat that kind of exposure. Since Emerging Focus has been using my image to promote this years competition, I am hoping I will be getting even more exposure. For an emerging artist like me, winning was both an honor and a great opportunity." — Marguerite Courtney 2012 Emerging Focus Winner
