This is Yves Schepers – Collection Four Judge
Announcing the first of our Collection Four judges: The fantastic Yves Schepers! Based in Belgium and shooting all over the world, it’s an honour to have Yves cast his moment-honed eyes over our forthcoming submissions for our Reportage Awards and Reportage Story Awards for Collection Four.
Collection Three Announced!
It is with great pleasure that we can announce the winners of Collection Three! Many thanks to our wonderful judges this round – the fantastic Sabina Mladin, Patrick Engel, Rahul Khona, Sanne De Block and Candice C. Cusic – who have been poring over the thousands of entries over the last week to come up with their winners.
As always, the quality of submissions was sky high, and it must have been incredibly hard for our judges to choose their favourites. Receiving an award was thus incredibly difficult, with just the top 4% of submissions receiving a Reportage Award (for the pinnacle of individual captures) or a Reportage Story Award (for a series of 15 – 20 images from a single wedding; as we want to celebrate the art and skill of storytelling, of consistently world-class coverage, as well as individual moments).
You can view the entire collection over at this link, and here are a few selections.
This Is How: ‘The Selfie’ by Benjamin Toms
Really fab to have Benjamin Toms on the site today, taking us behind the scenes of his Reportage Award-winning capture from our previous round, Collection Two. Great insights into shooting through moments, trusting your instincts and more…
This Is How: ‘Lock Down For Lift Off’ by Jon Mold
It’s an honour to have the fantastic Jon Mold on the site today to tell us all about how he captured this Reportage Award-winning image. This is a brilliantly in-depth piece, with detailed insights into his exact flash setup and equipment use, great insights into testing and ‘locking in’ your settings so as to focus on the moment and composition and much more – thanks so much for such an exhaustive and informative ‘This is How’ piece, Jon!
This Is How: ‘The Red Balloon’ by Klaus Heymach
A delight to have Germany-based TiR member Klaus Heymach on the site today, sharing his thoughts about this great capture. Great insights into becoming part of the wedding, and I especially love this quote from Klaus, which couldn’t be more true: “If you concentrate only on the really big moments, you may miss such small, inconspicuous ones.”
