SAPPA and APPA photo awards 2014

The results are in. Over the last couple of months many photographers have put their hearts on photographic paper and entered the AIPP (Aust. Institute of Professional Photography) APPA (Aust. Professional Photography Awards) and SAPPA (SA Pro Photog. Awards) awards. I was one of them. And although I may not be completely happy with my results, I know I should be. These awards are hard. Getting an award is something to be celebrated.

Below are my prints that I entered in the APPA's. (These all received Silvers at SAPPA). At APPA all received Professional Standard, with one gaining Silver. One other image was one point off Silver too. They were judged by the best of the best of my peers, so to impress them is something.

BE DETERMINED TO MOVE ON AND UP… ALWAYS BE READY TO LEARN. EVEN FOR THE MASTERS.

SA AIPP Awards 2014 and APPA National Awards 2014

I entered these pics in the SA AIPP Awards a while back… and did well. Silver awards for the family legs on the beach, cafe window, SUP'ing at Glenelg and the life savers packing up at the end of a long day.

The rest were awarded professional standard - which of course, I'm very happy about. This weekend, my four silvers are in Sydney being judged for the National Awards. Fingers crossed for me.

I'd love to hear what you think… everyone has their own opinion.
