I have never really been one for competitions in fact I have only entered one photography competition in my whole life. This was the Nikon awards which were held last year and even then I didn’t enter a single wedding pic. A while back I stumbled on The Fearless Photographers site and was blown away. This is a group of photographers who are dedicated to seeing beyond “safe” wedding shots and are pushing boundaries in terms of moment capturing, interesting angles an wonderful composition. Every few months they have a competition and the winners are given “Fearless Awards”. I decided to enter. A few days ago they put about 100 images up to public vote on their facebook page, the 10 with the most votes were then given awards along with the other 110 or so that had already been chosen by an independent panel of judges. 3 of my images made it through to this round but didn’t make it to the finals where photographers are given awards. A whole load of you voted and I would like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for voting for me. It is much appreciated. 2 other images of mine did however make it straight through to the finals which is just such a huge accolade as I am constantly inspired by this site and cannot believe my images are even anywhere near this level of photography. They received over 2000 entries and only 126 images received awards. Sooo happy!!!!

SOOOoo WONDERFUL Jax. Well done. xx
Congratulations! Both images are so full of feeling – that second brings a tear to my eye! Love your work, you’re a great inspiration to this fledgling portrait photographer!

Well done Jackie, but just as well my face was covered or else you’d never have won this award!
yay!
Well done!!!
Fabulous! Well done!
You so deserve it Jax, your work is so incredible and inspirational! xx 🙂
Jax, I am TERRIBLY slow with this kind of thing. The penny only really dropped with me today that this award was for the photo of Rusself doing his famous splits. Definitely a FIRM favourite of our special day. Jax you intrigue me, your work is PHENOMENAL. Dead chuffed for you (and us) and even more excited that we get to do it all again with Em’s wedding next year! FOREVER GRATEFUL! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
