6th place in Action
The WPJA contest judges presented Oscar Setiawan, 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.

- Good use of strobe with slow shutter speed. Good faces. Nice color. Using fill flash and blurring the background gives this frame a real sense of movement. It is exceptionally well executed. I tend to be a little tired of the tilt but the technique is still quite valid, though aging. Her face seals the deal for me. A fantastic happy and exotic wedding action.
