Finally I got some time to share some good news here. Past couple of months were so exciting and also challenging to me. After a successful result in my first attempt in WPPI 2014 Second Half Online Competitions (Wedding and Portrait Professional International) by winning the First and Second Places both in the Illustrative Category and three Silvers, I entered my prints for the first time in WPPI 2015 print competitions. Apart from attending great seminars and workshops running by great international photographers, I got two Silvers with Distinction, and two Silvers out of 5 entries.

In March I entered my prints for the first time into AIPP (Australian Institute of Professional Photograph) Queensland State Awards 2015. I entered 7 prints: 4 in Illustrative Category and 3 in Portrait, and I am really happy with the results. One Gold, two Silvers with Distinction, and three Silvers in Illustrative, plus two Silvers in Portrait Category. Moreover I was honored to be the finalist in the Illustrative category with two great photographers: Charmaine Heyer and the category winner Kris Anderson.

Here are my awarded images:
