I'm not a person who typically enters competitions. In fact, I haven't entered a real competition since college, when I was competing with my peers in fine art. But, this year I thought I'd take a stab entering 2010 WPPI 1st Half International Photography Competition. I was pleased to find out recently that I received an Accolade of Excellence in the competition for a portrait I had taken! I entitled it "Laura B." and it's from the shoot I did of my cousin-in-law for her band, The Mynabirds. Here's the release from WPPI about the win: Lisa Boggs Wins Accolade of Excellence in the 2010 WPPI 1st Half International Photography Competition
Lisa Boggs of Great Falls, VA, has received special honors in the WEDDING & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHERS INTERNATIONAL 2010 WPPI 1st Half International Photography Competition. Designed to recognize outstanding photographers, the judging was held in Culver City, CA on September, 2010.
"Laura B." received an Accolade of Excellence in the Individual category.
Boggs competed against an international field of photographers to win such honors.
The WPPI 1st Half International Photography Competition awards are presented each year at the largest trade show, educational platform and convention in the United States for professional photographers. The 2010 competition included 2511 images in 17 different categories submitted by photographers from all over the world.
Aaaaaaaand here's the photo!
