2nd place in Silhouettes / Shadows and Light
The WPJA contest judges presented David Murray, a Georgia, United States 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 Winter Judges
Judges
- Stunning, evocative light and a great expression on the woman makes this picture so successful. There is just enough detail in the shadows to add information without taking away from the great energy in the center of the frame. The shadow of the head cast on the woman just adds to the tension and mystery of the frame. A really nice moment.
