Panikos wins the MPA London & Essex Region "Photographer of the Year 2012"
Well, my feet have barely touched the ground since the 16th May at the annual MPA Awards for the London & Essex region. The Master Photographers Association is the UK’s only trade body exclusively for full-time professional wedding, portrait and commercial photographers.
I did enter a good number of images, but it was worth it! I came away winning four categories, getting second place in five categories, two third places, as well as number of Merits! I was blown away, and absolutely delighted! The competition was judged by one of the country’s top judges Hoss Mahdavi who is a distinguished Fellow of the Master Photographers Association. The awards evening at the Old Plough House in Bulphan was attended by some of the top Photographers in the region that came from as far a field as Norfolk, Suffolk , Hertfordshire, Essex, London and Kent to compete.
The above image came 2nd in the Classical Portrait section, with the title image to this post being the winner.
