Every year I enter the Victorian Professional Photography Awards ( as well as other print/photography competitions). This year was no different.
I enjoy entering them even though they can be quite stressful to watching, the anticipation of when your print comes up for judging, and of course the result.
This year I unfortunately was unable to travel in to watch the judging live as I had other commitments but I did get to watch my prints judged and the final scores from the judges via the livestream which I was available to watch at a later time which is really not my preferred as I do love to go in and socialise and see everyone elses prints first hand as there is so much inspiring work put up by peers for judging.
Overall I’m very happy with my result and I am looking forward to the Australia Professional Photography Awards later this year!
Oh and congratulations once again to my good friend and esteemed colleague Joshua Holko who won Victorian Photographer of the Year, Victorian Creative Photographer of the Year, Victorian Science and Nature Photography of the Year. Highest Scoring Print of the Competition as well as having the highest combined print scores for the Travel Category by a country mile but somehow didn’t win that category (I guess they couldn’t let him all the categories!!!!).
Here are my three award winning images that were all taken on during Photography Expeditions within the last 12 months. Having the opprtunity to photograph such amazing sights obviously doesn’t hurt!
