1st place in Transportation
The WPJA contest judges presented Michael Temchine, 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
- A very funny picture caused by the juxtaposition of the hairy face on top of the bosomy figure. The contrast is so unexpected and couldn't be more different. This should have been entered in the Humor category. Very strong composition and use of juxtaposition to make a good story/ It could be a tad sharper but still an excellent moment and very well rendered.
