10th place in Reception
The WPJA contest judges presented Dimitris Balaskas, a Greece 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.
2010 Q2 Judges
Judges
- I’m drawn to this photo for it’s simplicity, a dance, a prelude to a kiss, the confetti, very nice.
- Eye contact and strong subject composition to the left of frame balanced by illuminated confetti created a powerful effect. Tells the story beautifully in a single frame.
