7th place in Emotion
The WPJA contest judges presented Patrick Low, a Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 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.
2008 Q4 Judges
Judges
- I’m not always a fan of rather soft photos but sometimes they work, because like poetry, they leave gaps for us to enter and give our own spin or meaning to verse or visuals. The large hand with a death-grip on his shoulder exudes emotion, while the almost quivering lip and teary eyes compliments and explains the hand. Though visually separated, the link between the hand and face is enormous. I wouldn’t change a thing.
