7th place in Creative Portrait
The WPJA contest judges presented Ana Paula Lobato, a Minas Gerais, Brazil 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.
2015 Q2 Photography Contest Judges
Judges
- This image is outright fun! I actually like the addition of the driver looking down as to not intrude in the couple’s kiss. Lighting works great with this shot, starkness like they got caught.
- I really like the trendy feel of this photo. I would have likely tried to balance my strobe with whatever ambient light I could find. And, I would have been wrong. The best approach was the witty, brash and breezin’ blast of a strobe - just enough to roll out that vibrant yellow with the panache of paparazzi.
