What do you love most about judging the IWPOTY Awards?
For me, judging photos is a great opportunity for observation and inspiration
How many years you been a wedding photographer and approximately how many weddings do you photograph each year. How many frames would you shoot during a session and how many do you deliver?
I’ve been shooting for 15 years. I’ve shot over 1,000 weddings. On average I shoot about 100 weddings a year. For one wedding day I shoot about 10000 shots
We can’t wait to work with Kemran this year on the Awards!
