Delicate hatching time for Royal Albatross and DOC by Simone Jackson (Silver Award)

The Nikon/NZIPP Iris Professional Photography Awards 2018 were judged a few weekends ago in Wellington. The judging of each category has been recorded and uploaded to YouTube at the link below. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn from professional work and judging.  All categories require a physical print submission, there are no projected image categories.

Congratulations to DPS member Simone Jackson who was a finalist in the Nature category and received awards in others sections, including the image above from the Documentary category.

Note: The judging may not start until some time into the recording so fast forward to find the beginning.
