Judging and results
Category: Commercial Photography - Commissioned work - Prints
I am a great supporter of the AIPP (Australian Institute of Professional Photography) and the APPA (Australian Professional Photography Awards).
I believe the annual awards, both at the state level and national level, help a lot professionals in improving their skills and the quality of the professional work they deliver. Improves the photography industry in general.
I have entered the AIPP – APPA awards for many years and have received several awards. See some of them here.
During the last 3 years, I also judge a few categories at the AIPP – Victoria and New Zealand Professional Photography Awards. It is a great honor and privilege to contribute.
I admire and respect the comments of all judges. They are very experienced professionals. Each one with their own life experiences, interpretations, and beliefs. It is always interesting to hear their reactions and comments.
All photos in this competition are prints with a minimum of 25 cm on the longest size, so, what you see on this screen is not exactly what the judges have seen. I have always printed my own work on fine art paper and printed for other photographers and clients as well. The impact of the image printed on texturized paper or glossy paper under the judging lights is quite special and different from the image on a monitor.
This year, for the first time, I decided to enter my commercial commissioned work in the competition instead of my more artistic self-commissioned travel and illustrative work.
I am very proud of the images I did for clients these last 2 years and decided to send them to the awards.
It was not easy to select the images to send.
There are many photos that are great in showing the client’s product and great execution of the client’s brief but, for an image to receive an award, it needs to show something extra, something special.
We can only submit 4 images and the ones I selected are special to me. I think they represent more than a high standard of professional practice regardless of the scores they received on the awards.
I would like to say a huge thank you to all my clients that allow me to show their photos on my website and enter competitions. In special the Australian Botanical Soap company, Kalinowski Jewellery and Forever Sharp Knifes.
Enjoy the images and watch the judging and their comments. It is very interesting when one image is challenged. One of them had an automatic challenge and an enormous score discrepancy. Great comments.
