1st place in Cake Cutting
The WPJA contest judges presented Chris Moseley, a 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.
2008 Q4 Judges
Judges
- No wasted space here. The photographer had to work into the scene decisively to carve out enough real estate to make this excellent image. The strobe defined the depth of field and the sharpness. This is an image where everyone’s face contributes to the moment and lighting it makes it snap. Excellent use of wide angle.
- There's just lot of things going on in this picture. The kiss, cake, fork in hands, and people on left watching with expressions reacting to them. Just very nicely composed and lined up image. Once again, content in foreground and background in one frame-there's two pictures in one images.
