This is Marius Barbulescu – Collection Seven Judge
Excited to announce the second of our five judges for Collection Seven: The fantastic Marius Barbulescu! Marius is based in Romania and shoots all over the world; we can’t wait to see what he picks as winners (along with our other four judges) at the end of January (deadline for submissions is 23:59 GMT on 24th January 2019).
This Is How: ‘Wedding Dog’ by Steven Herrschaft
Delighted to have the fab Steven Herrschaft on the site today, as he explains all about how he captured this Reportage Award-winning shot from back in Collection Four. Really great tips on composition, storytelling, getting different perspectives, and never settling for the ordinary…a super read, thanks a lot Steven!
This Is How: ‘Emotional Distance – Rahul, Ramya & Anya’ by Abhimanyu Sharma
It’s an honour to share a fantastic ‘This is How’ piece by Abhimanyu Sharma of Going Bananas Photography today, as he takes us behind the scenes of this fantastic Reportage Award from Collection Five. This is a fantastic piece, dealing with the vital important of empathy, and of creating bonds with our couples and their families/friends, in order to be able to capture an image like this. A brilliant read, thanks so much Abhimanyu!
This is Donatella Barbera – Collection Seven Judge
Really honoured to announce the first of our five judges for Collection Seven: The brilliant Donatella Barbera of D2 Photography. Based in Italy and shooting all over the world with her husband Damiano, between them they have more than 300 award-winning photos from various international bodies; we can’t wait to see what Donatella chooses as winners in Collection Seven of our Reportage and Story Awards!
Announcing Our Birthday Contest Winners!
A few weeks ago we had our very first Birthday here at This is Reportage, and, as part of that, we ran an Instagram contest for a chance to win 1 of 5 free annual memberships worth £80 each (or an extra year added on to your account if you were already a member, as we think it’s incredibly important to include our existing photographers in any giveaways/promotions we may do).
It was a delight to see so many people entering, and sharing some brand new documentary wedding photography captures! We had over 150 entries in the end (which you can see all of over here), and it was incredibly tough to narrow down our five favourties (unlike our Awards, which are judged by five different judges each time, this contest was a bit of birthday fun, so was just judged by us).
Anyway, without further ado, here are the 5 winners! Congratulations to Maureen van Dijk, Mark Hillyer and Abigail Steed, who all won a free annual membership – and congrats to Leonard Walpot and Linda Bouritius, who won an extra year added on to their accounts.
