6th place in Musicians & DJs
The WPJA contest judges presented John Zich, a Illinois, 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.
2013 Q3 Contest Judges
Judges
- I loved this picture, but was going to pass it over because of the hair in the face of the forward player. It was a good picture, but not a prize winner for me. A closer look shows that you can see the violinist’s face. That combined with the expressions of the little girl and the other musicians makes this photograph a winner.
