10th place in Silhouettes / Shadows and Good Light
The WPJA contest judges presented Juan Carlos Torres, a Oregon, 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.

- I liked the focus of exposure in this image which creates a sense of mystery and depth. The shaft of light points the way into the darkness. Nice creative use of light taken at just the right moment.
