2nd place in Kids (Being Kids)
The WPJA contest judges presented Olivier Lalin, 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.
2004 Summer Judges
Judges
- Wonderful “kid†moment between two young girls. The tilted framing adds to the tension of the image. Photographer was lucky to find this image of a flower girl telling another to keep it quiet. Nice light and a good moment. (Nice moment that would have been better as b/w or less saturated. the colors were so off that it really knocked it down)
