The WPJA contest judges presented Lawrence Ng, a Singapore 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.
2014 Q3 Photography Contest Judges

- Details could be described as a reduction of everything in an image to just one thing. After all, your average image is usually filled with numerous "details." But what makes a detail a detail is when that "one thing" becomes the image or works as an anchor for the image - taking the role that determines a pass or fail in a moment. In this case, the photographer helps create that detail via composition - not only choosing the right angle so the man's face is covered (thereby assuring our eyes won't be distracted) but also by placing the subject in the center of the frame, giving it an edgy, quirky feel.
