The NineDots awards take place every other month and are judged by photographers from around the world. At NineDots we believe in awards as a fuel for continual improvement rather than being purely for peer recognition or creating hierarchy, so our judges provide their expert insight into the judging process and offer feedback on the images entered through these regular ‘expert insight’ pieces. This helps everyone improve their craft – those who entered and those who didn’t, by getting advice from photographers at the top of the industry around the world.
In this video, London and destination wedding photographer Blake Ezra gives us his expert judges insight while judging the NineDots awards, with his unique take on what makes a great wedding image and some advice for improving your work overall, not just for awards.
