1st place in Humor
The WPJA contest judges presented Evrim Icoz, 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.
2006 Winter Judges
Judges
- Classic use of composition to make something funny. This is an example of the great use of the visual language of still photography to make a joke. Looks like it could be in an Elliott Erwittt book! Great job of seeing by the photographer. Nice that he/she looked beyond the obvious at this wedding. Could have taken top honors in the musician/dj category too.
