I couldn’t resist sharing this… I was honoured to be awarded with a Bronze Award at the RISE International Photography Awards 2019. The award winning image was sent in for the Maternity category. Please find the image with the award below.
I am so happy because this image truly reflects the photographic style I enjoy creating the most. I love using my dark grey seamless paper background and the beauty dish which created the perfect light for the image. I usually like to stick to simplicity and elegance in my photography.
A special thank you for my lovely expecting client on the image, it was such a great teamwork. She had some amazing ideas for her maternity shoot and brought a huge bag full of outfits that matched her preferred style.
I have applied with a few more images but unfortunately they didn’t get any awards. Although all of them were very close to the necessary 75 points that was needed for a Bronze Award. Some of them only needed another 1 or 2 points… Some of the below images already won awards at different photography contests.
I don’t often use bright colours in my studio. This lovely client of mine loved colours like yellow, orange and red. I got inspired by the outfits she brought for her portrait session and used them all. This particular image with the bright yellow bodysuit turned out to be our favourite.
I captured this image during the newborn session of a 10 days old baby girl. The grandparents only came to the studio to supervise the two older siblings, they didn’t want to be on the images – at the beginning. Luckily we have managed to convince them at the end and this spontaneous image turned out to be my absolute favourite from the session. I love the expression on their faces which shows love, pride and joy.
I love capturing moments that show expecting parents’ excitement and love for their soon-to-be-born child. This one is one of my favourite maternity images because I think that the expression on the couple’s faces says it all.
My clients brought their baby girl for a portrait session when she was exactly two months old. The mum especially wanted the gorgeous little girl to be photographed in this cute dress and use a lot of pink. The baby was very cheerful throughout the whole session and we had a great connection right from the beginning. This image ended up being one of their favourites.
I have received very valuable and encouraging feedback from the judges which I really appreciate. I will keep testing my professional skills at more photography contests to learn more through feedbacks and to be able to provide the best quality.
