Diamond and Gold – IPPA Awards June 2010

Diamond Award!

This week the Irish Professional Photographers Association held it’s latest round of judging for their awards programe.

Winning images are awarded Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond. It’s a big acheivement to receive any award and a Gold is a hard thing to get but the Diamond’s are rare and hard to acheive.

I’m delighted to announce that I got my first Diamond Award in the Classic Portrait Category. It’s wonderful to get a Diamond and being a ‘first’ makes it extra special.

Classic Portrait Category

Between the Classic Portrait, Bridal and Children’s Portrait Category I received a total of 10 Gold’s and one Diamond.

Portrait of Ethan

Hi Folks,

Just going through of my recent favourite portraits and I wanted to share this one.

Ethan is a friend of my son (Alex) and for Christmas we thought we’d surprise his mummy with a portrait…

So in he came… like a hurricane/tazmanian devil…..! Managed to get one good shot and this was it.

Murtagh Family Portrait

The Murtagh Family from Athlone have just viewed their family pictures.

They all wore black t-shirts which worked really well for these guys against a dark background.

Family Day out in Galway

We had a much needed family break in Galway. The weather was awful but we made the most of the lovely beaches in-between the showers!

Fantastic Light at this time of year and being in-between showers meant it was that little bit more dramatic!
