Kēna Charlene was the first runner-up at the Bikini Open Shoot Challenge held at Hammonassett State Park on Sunday, July 29. The winner was Jessica Lynn, who took home a $500 prize.

The photographic event found 10 models competing for top honors as they were photographed and judged by a team of nine photographers (including myself). Each contestant was given a 30 minute slot to show their skills in front of the camera.
