4 Awards at the prestigious IRIS awards

Posted: September 13th, 2010 | Tags: , , | No Comments »

I am so excited about the 4 Awards I received at this years IRIS awards in Queenstown. The Iris awards are recognized as the leading awards for professional photographers in New Zealand. I had my first year of entering  last year with two wins and this year I got 4 awards and it’s such a great feeling for me to be recognized as a top photographer by other professionals. The images below are my awards in the portrait category and the travel category. I also won 2 awards for my Wedding photography and will get them online later in the week. 


NZIPP Infocus Conference

The Infocus conference is held in Queenstown this year so I am heading over the hill for a couple of days to catch up with fellow professional photographers from all  over New Zealand, to check out some new gear and talk to suppliers. There are also some really good workshops and speakers and I am especially looking forward to listening to US celebrity portrait photographer, Micheal Grecco. He has got a really nice and distinct way of shooting. The IRIS Awards is also taking place over the weekend, the awards are for professional photographers and the most important and toughest  competition of the year in NZ.


Learning from the best in the world – David Beckstead

I attended the seminar with David Beckstead last week.  David is from the States and has been voted as one of the Top 10 Wedding photographers in the world. He is seen as a master when it comes to dramatic compositions and wedding images with a fashion flair.  It was a full on 8hr day  with David discussing composition, how he interacts with his couples  and how he gets those amazing images he is famous for.

We got to be “behind the scenes” of his work and he showed and talked about how a certain image was created and what to look for to get those images.  We also had lots of time to ask question and spend one on one time with David and he helped me with some new personal ideas for my weddings.
