This is Alison Bounce – Collection Six Judge
Honoured to reveal the second of our five judges for Collection Six: The fantastic Alison Bounce! Alison is based in France and shoots all over the world, bringing her distinctive style and superb eye(s) for moments with her; very exciting to have Alison on our judging panel for our upcoming Collection of Reportage and Story Awards!
This is Steven Rooney – Collection Six Judge
Honoured to announce the first of our five judges for Collection Six: The brilliant Steven Rooney (UK). An incredibly creative and talented photographer, Steven manages to see – and capture – things that so many of us just can’t even comprehend; it’s really exciting to have him casting his eyes over Collection Six for us!
Collection Five Winners Announced
Ah, there’s nothing quite like Awards Announcement Day! We’re absolutely thrilled to be able to announce the winners of Collection Five, superbly curated this time by the amazing Steven Herrschaft, Christelle Rall, Lauren Brimhall, Sam Docker and The Framers.
This blog post contains just a few of our winners; check out the entire winning Collection over here.
Once again, it was incredibly tough to get an Award, with just the top 3.6% of submissions becoming a Reportage Award (for great individual captures), and the top 3.5% getting a Story Award (for a series of 15 – 20 images from a single wedding, representing world-class coverage, creativity, consistency and storytelling).
This Is How: ‘Trinity’ by Menino Conhece Menina
Delighted to have the fantastic Portugal-based duo Menino Conhece Menina on the site today to tell us how they captured this brilliant moment that won a Reportage Award back in Collection Four. I really love this piece; great tips and sentiments about going with the flow, curiosity as a wedding photographer’s great tool, composition and more. One of my favourite quotes, too: “If nothing is going on where I am, that means I’m in the wrong place…”. A brilliant piece, thanks so much, both!
This is Storytelling: ‘Nele & Michael’ by Sanne De Block
We’re absolutely delighted to have the brilliant Belgium-based TiR member Sanne De Block on the site today, taking us behind the scenes of her recent Story Award – but not only does Sanne talk in depth about that, she also lets us know how she won a Reportage Award which came from the same wedding; double-documentary goodness! We can’t recommend this post enough, with fantastic insights into working in wet conditions (so wet that one of her cameras stopped working properly – eek! – and how she dealt with the problem), practical advice on how to capture in-between moments, lens and flash info, and much more…
