Wedding photographer Benjamin Brette, was awarded 1st place for photo 1486661 in the Musicians & DJs category for the WPJA's 2014 Q3 Photography Contest.

The WPJA contest judges presented Benjamin Brette, a France 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.

2014 Q3 Photography Contest Judges

Judges

  • Like the angle of this shot, gives a difference perspective.
  • I've seen a lot of DJ's at weddings but never at this angle, directly above. It is a refreshing view that reminds us of the dizzy myriad of elements that must come together for a wedding. The DJ's life is reduced to a plateau of switches and knobs that seemingly throb for attention. Which dial, which switch, which button should I turn next? It's an insular world much like that of a photographer. In this case, both DJ and photographer apparently know their "stuff" because he has the dance floor enthralled in sync with a photographer enthralling us all with a decidedly delightful viewpoint.
