1st place in Creative Portrait of Kids
The WPJA contest judges presented Joseph Hong, a wedding photographer, with this Master Piece Award as recognition for top wedding photojournalism in the industry.
The leading documentary wedding photographers in the world enter their best photos to the Wedding Photojournalist Association's photography competitions. They want their wedding reportage photographs to be evaluated and selected by some of the most notable and respected working picture editors and photojournalists in the news industry (these are not wedding photographers or other WPJA members judging their work). Winning these competitions is a true accomplishment for a wedding photographer.
2003 Winter Judges
Judges
- This is a very good attempt, I wish I could see a little glimpse of her face. It is however, well framed. Timeless. Beautiful use of color and composition. Liked the framing through the windows. Light and angelic. A graphic image with nice color. It has the feeling of an impressionist painting.
