2nd place in Musicians & DJs
The WPJA contest judges presented Andrea Bibeault, a Nebraska, 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.
2009 Q4 Judges
Judges
- Great energy and light.
- What a great sense of energy the photographer has captured here. Extra wide lenses can be difficult to work with and can overdo it, but here it seems appropriate to the subject. This is a high-energy singer – contrasted with a seemingly sedate band. The lens seems to put him at the forefront and add to the energy and seems to pull him out from the rest of the group. It grabbed my attention right away.
