Zsuzsanna Luciano of Luciano Photography is honored by peers and jurors for high-quality photography
Matawan, New Jersey – Zsuzsanna Luciano of Luciano Photography in Matawan, NJ was named a Silver Medalist during Professional Photographers of America’s 2022 International Photographic Competition.
Luciano’s work will be on display at the upcoming Imaging USA, held January 22-24, 2023 in Nashville, TN. Imaging USA is one of the largest annual conventions and expos for professional photographers.
A panel of 36 eminent jurors from across the United States selected the top photographs from over 5,000 total submitted entries at PPA headquarters in Atlanta. Judged against a standard of excellence, 1,926 images were selected for the Merit Collection and 1,225 (roughly 24 percent) were selected for the esteemed Imaging Excellence Collection—the best of the best. The Imaging Excellence Collection images will all be published in the much-anticipated ” Excellence Collection” book by Marathon Press.
The level of the award is determined by how many of those four images receive the highest possible honor—acceptance into the PPA Loan Collection, which is displayed at photographic exhibitions, conventions, and other photography events. Luciano was named a Silver Medalist, meaning that one of their four merited images entered the PPA Loan Collection. In 2022, they were one of only 81 Silver Medalists.

Zsuzsanna Luciano in Panobook 2015
I sincerely enjoy the process of creating panoramic images with multiple shots that are stitched together with the software from Kolor called Autopano.
The company Kolor not only created superior software Autopano but they also publish a Panobook showcasing Panoramic Photography from around the wonderful world we live in. Each year they have open submissions allowing anyone to submit their best panoramic images. The result: an unequaled pleasure for the eyes and an invitation for an unforgettable tour throughout the world.
My largest image up to date is a panorama of the Great Synagogue in Budapest, Hungary where I was born and raised. The Synagogue is made of 82 photographs and countless hours spent waiting on site as the light conditions kept changing.
This year for Panobook 2015 they selected the Angel Oak – as pictured on top – The Angel Oak I created from 32 individual images and was selected out of 2,800 submissions. In total Panobook only selects 150 images. Being chosen to be part of this very exclusive and inspiring book is a sincere honor.
