4th place in Toasting/Speeches
The WPJA contest judges presented Juliana Mozart, a São Paulo, Brazil 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.
2015 Q2 Photography Contest Judges
Judges
- The photographer got smack dab in the middle of the toast which brought the image to life.
- Wow! What a party and what an image! Here’s a good use of artistic license through lens choice and motion blur that places the viewer in a voyeuristic drunken spiral. Actually it’s difficult to know whether we are here or there. Fortunately such matters are not important as long as the moment’s veracity remains intact. Personally, I’m guessing the moment I saw this photo surpassed the moment revealed between its borders. And, no hangover required.
