EPSON/NZIPP IRIS PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS

Ten days ago, on very short notice and after a candleburning late 5 am night, I managed to send off some entries to the NZ version of the APPA Awards - the Iris Awards.

The Epson/NZIPP Iris Professional Photography Awards are the only competition of its kind in New Zealand and were held at the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photographers (NZIPP) annual Infocus conference in Wellington from 20-24 August this year.

This year the awards received a record number of entries.

The winners were announced last night at the Awards Gala dinner and I ended up winning five awards of the six entries I sent across. So needless to say I'm very happy about that! Two awards were in the Landscape Category and the other three were in the Wedding, People, and Creative categories respectively.

Thanks again to my guru printer Simon Olding and the wonderful Ian and Kim at Campbell St Framers for helping me create such beautiful imagery and to whisk them away on time!

What next? Hmmm...!
