4th place in Creative Portrait
The WPJA contest judges presented Jeff Newsom, a 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.
2006 Winter Judges
Judges
- This image really stood out. It has sophistication and depth. It is clean and simple but rich with texture. I love the expressions and the body language. I feel like I learn something about this couple, not that they were just plugged into a “portrait formulaâ€. The light is subtle and revealing. Exceptional work.
