Sao Paulo
São Paulo Wedding Photography Award - 2643523
"A Sao Paulo wedding photojournalist artfully portrays a father’s first look through a clever, multi-layered composition. The photo centers on a gold-rimmed oval mirror, which reflects the bride’s radiant smile and lush bouquet as she descends a winding staircase. In the foreground, the back of her father’s white suit jacket anchors the scene, allowing us to experience his perspective as he gazes upward. Is he breathless at the sight of her, or simply savoring this quiet transition before the festivities? The soft light hitting the white brick interior enhances the airy, hopeful atmosphere. This image succeeds by using reflection to document an intimate family bond with artistic sophistication."
