6th place in Great Natural Light
The WPJA contest judges presented William Lambelet, a Herault (34) , France 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.
2016 Q2 Photography Contest Judges
Judges
- Strong graphic created by great light.
- At first glance, if not for the white dress and veil, tis couple appears to climb from the catacombs. Yet, the direct opposite is the nature of the day. But what if we allow our imagination roam? We might find symbolism of their climb on rough hewn stairs from the shadows. Dare I suggest that it speaks, instead, to a new life, a new chapter or a new beginning as two become one according to marital traditions? That is how I saw it. A step into the light together.
