2nd place in Action
The WPJA contest judges presented Kelvin Koh, a Singapore 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.
2006 Spring Judges
Judges
- This photograph takes an over-photographed situation and finds a new way to see it. Besides the visual grace of the lines in the photo, the narrative is there, too. I feel like I want to know what has happened, and what will happen. This photo proves that sometimes less is more, and that by showing a few things well a photographer can say more than by trying to include it all. Nicely done.
