1st place in Musicians & DJs
The WPJA contest judges presented Robert Mirani, a Massachusetts, 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.
2007 Q4 Judges
Judges
- Nice expression and afternoon light with shadows casting to create more dimensions. This works well in color! Good feeling in this picture. I liked that the photographer went for the shadows and the expression on the piano player was a plus. This photo stood out from all the rest. It has nice light and captures the musician enjoying the moment. The framing is well done to allow the shadows to dance on the wall.
