Bronze Award in Illustrative Section of Iris Awards 2016 “Survivor”<\/p><\/div>\n
This year I joined the NZIPP, the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photographers as a provisional member (I’m now a full member) and only two months later decided to jump in the deep end and enter the Iris awards held by NZIPP. I chose some photos that I thought may be good enough to enter and did some further editing on them. The judging was in July at Infocus, the yearly conference held by NZIPP. I was not able to attend the conference as I have three children and many commitments. But I was able to watch some of the judging live on the web for free, which was amazing.<\/p>\n
It was exciting but nerve wracking at the same time as my photos appeared on the screen in front of the judges, and as a matted print. I was lucky to get two silvers and a bronze.<\/p>\n
The silvers were both for funny face photos. They were different to anything else shown in the classic portrait category this year. I quite often ask people to pull funny faces to make them relax. Most of the time it works, sometimes not. But in these two jobs I got the most classic faces imaginable. One judge in particular loved the photos.<\/p>\n
The bronze award was for a portrait of my daughter Arielle which I entered in the Illustrative section (a section where photos need to tell a story). She looked like a little orphan from a World War, sitting in the middle of a forest. She was very tired that day and her little eyes had bags under them which added to the drama of the photo. All three photos can be seen below.<\/p>\n
I am definitely entering again next year. I may get nothing next year, but I’m going to have a go anyway.<\/p>\n
