AOP GOLD AWARD
Portrait of model Liddie Holt with her friend Vincent the Daschund
I am truly delighted to receive a prestigious Association of Photographers' GOLD award! The AOP Awards are generally acknowledged as the photography BAFTAs and gold is their highest accolade. There is no given with a gold; some years there are none awarded, it is simply at the discretion of the judges. This year there were eight golds and two of them went to women photographers, this ratio reflecting the current statistics of women photographers working within our industry. I received my award in the Fashion & Beauty category, and my fellow female awardee is the talented Tina Hillier for her Documentary series. Click to see all of this year's finalists. My thanks to all of the team who worked on this story with me: Art Director Jo Bell, Stylist Maria Francolini, Hair & makeup Lizzie Court, Photo Assistant Julie Stewart and of course Liddie Holt & Vincent(pictured) and Forever Young magazine for publishing. Although the nature of our industry has changed in recent years as traditional magazines disappear from the newsstands, it is our love of photography that continues to fire our passion to create what we always hope will be beautiful, memorable imagery. Pictured with me above are my friend and talented art director Jo Bell, and also my wonderful and supportive agents Anita Grossman & Rosie Harrison of A&R CREATIVE who have been representing me a record-breaking twenty five years! Massive thanks to Clara Mercer from the British Fashion Council who judged my category and chose my winning picture! And to Seamus, Rachel, Nick and all team AOP for putting on a cracking show at the East Wintergarden, Canary Wharf. See you all next year! Wendy x p.s. The exhibition showing all 200+ Awards finalists is still on show at One Canada Square until the end of May and, as overheard at the Awards party, "I've just seen the exhibition and was surprised at how much better the pictures looked in print than on my screen." Now there's an idea... For more photography by Wendy Carrig please visit her website
The Portrait of Humanity Award
I'm pleased and honored to have my photograph of the Buddhist Monk Emma Slade chosen for the shortlist of The Portrait of Humanity Award. This is a new global award founded by the British Journal of Photography and Magnum Photos. My photograph will be included in the accompanying book and winners will be announced at the launch event on May 23rd. The picture unfolded between takes on a portrait assignment for Perfect Bound magazine. The Long Goodbye shows a genuine moment of emotion as Buddhist Monk & charity founder Emma Slade says farewell to her friend Fitch, the graceful Great Dane who sadly passed away a few weeks after the photograph was taken. Previously a London investment banker Emma turned to Buddhism after being kidnapped and held hostage at gunpoint whilst on a business trip to Jakarta. Many thanks again to Emma, and Fitch's owner Michelle Parker. Also Madeleine Smith, Julie Read & Betty Brigstocke-Williams. Photography copyright Wendy Carrig ©2018 All Rights Reserved
