Awards

by

Am so happy yet again to be a finalist in this annual awards ceremony. This will be my third year in a row to be a finalist, but, as the standard is incredibly high this year I have zero expectations and am just delighted to be involved. Taken from the IPPVA website :

“The IPPVA awards differ from other awards in that they are solely judged by a panel of national and international professional photographers, both members and non members of the IPPVA, over 4 heats during the year. As such they recognise and reward technical and creative excellence, rather than being a popularity contest or public vote.

Awards are not easy to win, and winning even one is an achievement. Maintaining the consistency required to win four in the same year, in order to qualify as a finalist, is therefore quite special.”

See below for my wedding award winners (I also am a finalist in the landscape category 🙂 )

Delighted to be announced as a finalist in the IPPA / Bank of Ireland Professional Photographer of the year 2017.

These awards are voted on by our peers so it makes them very special and although I have no ideas of winning, it’s fantastic to be involved and included among so many talented craftspersons. See attached for my final panel of images that made the cut and a big thanks to all the couples who put their trust in me to capture their day.

Delighted that, in the final heat of the IPPA photographer of the year, I received eight awards, six “Highly Commended” and two hard to achieve “Merits”. These images are judged by my fellow peers and professionals so it means a lot to receive any awards, let alone eight !

Dipped my toe back into competitions this year for the IPPA Photographer of the year. It is always great to get positive & constructive feedback from your peers so I was delighted when 2 of my images received highly commended awards in the first heats for photographer of the year. Also received some great feedback on small changes that could improve the final images. Already looking forward to the next round !!
