WHAT COMPETITIONS HAVE YOU YOURSELF<br />
WON? WHICH ONE ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF?<br />
I’ve been a keen participant in the NZIPP Iris<br />
Awards for many years. This is a tough print based<br />
photographic awards where your images are<br />
judged in public by a rotating selection of 5 expert<br />
photographic judges. Success can come either via<br />
an individual submission or the sum of your portfolio of<br />
entered work.<br />
In 2010 my portfolio won the New Zealand Wedding<br />
of the Year at the NZIPP Iris Awards. As I was a relative<br />
newcomer to the competition at the time it was a<br />
watershed moment for my photography.<br />
This image of lifting fog on the Hauraki Plains one cold<br />
morning was awarded Gold at NZIPP Iris Awards. It<br />
wasn’t my first Gold at these awards but the first taken<br />
with a DSLR - my previous NZIPP gold had been taken<br />
with an iPhone in 20<strong>12</strong>.<br />
I gained the Fellow of the NZIPP in 2014 which is a high<br />
recognition for cumulative collection of Iris awards<br />
over the years.<br />
