I’m a little late with blogging on this subject but a couple of weeks ago I was invited to the Getty Image Gallery in London to receive my prize for Best Portrait Album in the Annabel Williams Photography Awards 2009. The awards are held bi-annually and entries were received from professional photographers from around the world. Judges included photography industry experts including Queensberry Albums and Canon UK as well as Annabel herself.
The judges kindly had the following to say…
‘Sarah’s portrait album demonstrated blindingly good photography, executed with total assurance of vision, composition and skill. She’s used extraordinarily good cropping and a wonderful range of shots. Fantastic, simple and powerful design.’
I was totally thrilled to win and it was great to catch up with some old faces as well as meet some amazing new photographers. The following images are courtesy of Jo at Shoot-Lifestyle, who deservedly won Best Wedding Album. In the pictures you can see (L to R) Simon & Jo (Shoot-Lifestyle), Gill Maheu – runner up Best Portrait Album, who came all the way from Geneva and John Archibald who came runner up in the Best Children’s image – my favourite image from the entire competition. It was great to meet you all, please keep in touch.
