4th place in Creative Portraits
The WPJA contest judges presented Kenny Pang, a New York, 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.
2006 Summer Judges
Judges
- Choice of location, lighting and lens are what makes this black and white portrait so captivating. It has the look and feel of a 1930s portrait. The light on the woman and her dress make her stand out against the shadows on the buildings. The choice of a wide angle lens adds to the vertical thrust of the buildings. The woman's downward gaze is fixed on something outside the frame and causes the viewer to look down and wonder what she sees. This photograph has a terrific feel to it. The lighting makes this image stand out. She is so beautifully lit and it is an interesting perspective.
