7th place in Creative Portrait
The WPJA contest judges presented David Crane, a California, 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 Winter Judges
Judges
- So many photographers forget that portraits are moments too. Not this photographer though! Its great to have willing subjects and a clever concept. Catching him in mid-stride with the veil leading our eye right to him makes for a non-traditional portrait that you can keep looking at over and over again. Their expressions are great too. Way to make a dynamic portrait from a very simple scene.
