3rd place in Emotion
The WPJA contest judges presented Cameron Gillie, a Wisconsin, 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.
2005 Spring Judges
Judges
- I always tell my students to go for a "great face." This photograph tells the whole story- proud Dad savors a moment with his daughter. What wedding photojournalists bring to this industry is strong storytelling. This image is quiet, but tells a great story- I would love to have this image of me and my dad. Nice moment. Only one complaint- I wish it had a little less depth of field. When you know you have that great of a face- take your DoF down to knock out that background a little more.
