A Successful Night

Janet and I had a great night at the North West Professional Photography Awards dinner last night. As well as catching up with lots of our photography friends I was thrillled to pick up awards in three different catogories, including a Gold......

No apologies for posting this image of Keirin racing at the Manchester Velodrome again - it gained me the Gold Award and the title North West Professional Press and Events Photographer of the Year (try saying that after a celebratory glass of champagne!) :
Pipped at the post - the Silver Award in the Environmental Portrait Category for this shot entitled 'Lost In Thought'. I captured this moment during a family photoshoot on a blustery Formby beach : And finally, a merit award in the Under 5s Portrait category :
Highlight of the evening was a moving presentation by our good friend David Williams from Melbourne, Down Under, on the importance of family photographs and why we often don't appreciate the significance of them until many years later. More on this subject and my own thoughts at a later date.
