My grandmother left this very sweet message on my mobile last night. “Hi chook, it’s grandma, I just wanted to congratulate you on winning your Silver Award, even though I’m not sure exactly what it is for.” It was actually one of the many calls I received from my very proud, yet slightly confused family. They were all so happy I won an award, but weren’t quite sure what it was. I was too nervous to tell them that I’d entered in my images, so when they found out it was all rather a jumble of information, but they were all proud none the less.
That being said, I won my first Silver Award at the NSW AIPP (Australian Institute of Professional Photography) Awards that were held over the weekend. I loved seeing work from other incredibly talented photographers in NSW and I can’t wait for the National Awards in Melbourne and seeing work from all over Australia.
This is my Silver winning print from the Pocahontas shoot.
