Winning 1st Place WPPI Print Competition

WPPI Award Winning Picture

It was on the morning of my 37th birthday when I received the great news that we’ve won our 7th Wedding & Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) award. This time first place with “Peace” in the Individual category. This is the sixth time we took part in this prestigious competition and we are happy to come away with a first place award.

“Peace” was taken in Hanoi while Jasmine and I had a short break and decided to do a shoot for our own portfolio. I entered two pictures that I titled “Peace”…so I am not 100% sure if this is the winning picture until I see WPPI publish all the winners on their website. But I have a strong feeling this is the one…maybe because I personally feel that it is a stronger picture.

Congrats also goes to my good friends CM Leung who bagged five awards this round, Kenneth Tan three, Edmund Tham & Shen Yeo both with 2nd place award. A big chunk of the winners are coming from Asia. Bravo!

    [...] the resulting image can look great as is the case with Louis Pang’s prize winning photograph, “Peace”. The key to the image however is that is starts with a great photograph and great photographs [...]
