Every April/May, the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers (AIPP) hold the ACT State Awards. I was honoured to take out awards for all 4 images I entered and also to be crowned the ACT AIPP Professional Portrait Photographer of the Year for 2018!! The below are my award winning entries;
81 - Silver Award "Dakota"
80 - Silver Award "The Huddle"
81 - Silver Award "I'm Gonna Getcha"
I entered the Australian Professional Photography Awards for the 2nd time in 2017 and was stoked that all 4 of my entries were awarded. This meant that I had earned enough points toward my associate ribbon, and my next goal is to achieve my Masters gong.
