Once again happy new year to everyone and may it be a prosperous one.

OK, a lot to blog this month so I thought I’d start off with my recent success in the 3rd Quarter competition of the WPJA (Wedding Photojournalist Association)

I gained 2 successes both in the ‘Ceremony’ category with a 7th and 12th placing. Apparently there were nearly 14 thousand entries so I was pretty please to get not only one but two. The first image below was from Serena and Ivan’s hindu wedding ceremony in Northants which came 7th. The second image is from Suzie and Lars wedding at Syon Park which came 12th.

JUDGES COMMENTS: Nice to see some other kinds of weddings rather than traditional caucasian American weddings. I realize wedding photographers take the jobs given to them, but it is important for building even a diverse body of work to take advantage of all the different kinds of cultures.

JUDGES COMMENTS: The beauty of light and composition combines artfully with the solemnity of the bride. Yet, the scene itself is radiant, bathed in light and framed by shades of grey that vanish into black. A bridesmaid smiles in the background echoing the path from light to dark, from smile to downward gaze. What a beautiful image.

I was delighted to gain a 12th place in the WPJA 3rd quater competition. This particular image was classified under ‘Groom getting ready’

Sometimes the best images happen unexpectedly as was the case here. I had just packed my bags and was walking out the front door when I saw this. Luckily my camera was still round my neck and I managed to grab this real quick. You can see the judges comments below.

JUDGES COMMENTS: Not often you see someone with real scissors trying to cut their beard. It’s a little soft on his hand, but you can still feel the intensity the man has in getting his beard trimmed just right.
