3rd place in Dancing (Action)
The WPJA contest judges presented Joseph Yarrow, a Bristol, United Kingdom 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.
2010 Q1 Judges
Judges
- In a category that I thought may have been stronger, this image stood out every time I reviewed the final selection. There is a lot going on in this image that is not as simple as it looks. Depth of field, selective focus, shutter speed, and lighting, all work well together to make this an effective image of a tiny piece of body language that speaks volumes.
