4th place in Musicians & DJs
The WPJA contest judges presented Joe Craig, a Pennsylvania, 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.
2009 Q4 Judges
Judges
- When I saw the requirements for this category I was hoping to see some strong graphic images and not the run of the mill band shot. This one is a clear standout. The composition of the pipes and the framing of the singer help create a really dynamic image. Well done.
