Hyon Smith Photography Blog

While the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, I took a few of my clients out (at different times) and took some photographs.

Don’t miss out next year!

Fairfax (VA) - Photographer Hyon Smith was awarded three Accolades of Excellence for prints entered in the prestigious 2010 Wedding & Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) 16×20 Print Competition. The Print Competition is a part of the annual WPPI Conference held in Las Vegas, NV. With members all over the world, WPPI is the premier association for photographers in the wedding industry.

Over 3,500 submissions were entered in this year’s 16×20 Print Competition. Each print was judged and scored by a panel of leading photographers in the wedding industry. The average of their respective marks was assigned as a print’s final score.

2010 marked the first time Hyon submitted photos to the competition, and his signature style received high marks in the Photojournalism category of the contest.

“Ladies’ Man”

Some moments require quick shooting and can never be staged. This little ring bearer was the star of a very special and fun wedding photograph.

“Untitled”

This special moment between the groom and his grandfather was quietly captured from the sidelines. A moving example of the intersection between photojournalism and wedding photography.

“Untitled”

This photograph showcases emotion, utilizes available light, and captures the moment.

There was an unveiling two days ago of Richard Deutsch’s Legacy (the sculpture) and Stephen Knapp’s Transformation (the light work). I thought I’d post a few pictures of the two and their works since I was lucky enough to photograph them.
