Rangefinder’s 30 Rising Stars Award

Rangefinder’s 30 Rising Stars

Delighted to be included in Rangefinder’s 30 Rising Stars wedding photographers. Winning images from Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia.

“We are ecstatic to finally be able to share the names of this year’s unbelievable talent that make up our 30 Rising Stars! For our part, of all the competition judging we do every year, picking just 30 honorees from 200 unbelievable submissions is always the most difficult.” Some elements that nominators and judges look for in submissions are real emotions from subjects. Uniquely interesting compositions and perspectives, and a fearless sense of experimentation in their work.

“For me, I look for images that take my breath away, have what I call a ‘gut-punch’ impact, and are fresh and timeless.” Editor-in-Chief of Rangefinder, Jacqueline Tobin. The panel of judges dedicated three weeks to viewing and discussing over 6,000 images.
