4th place in Ceremony
The WPJA contest judges presented Henrikas Kudirka, a Lithuania 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 Q3 Judges
Judges
- Generally speaking, when it comes to events, the more access, the greater the chance of making a great photo. This image is a microcosmic view of the role access can play. If access is the fuel, the photographer is the spark. Ladies and gentlemen. allow me to introduce the "Cardinal Cam." It's not often you can obtain a POV image from the pulpit. Also included is good lighting, composition and the ever important "moment." It's all there. Moments like this are usually captured in a silent gasp before you're either arrested, chased away or scorned by the crowd. Kudos for a unique frame.
