Tim Griffith was awarded 2011 AIPP Australian Architectural Photographer of the Year by the Australian Institute of Professional Photography (AIPP) last night.
Widely regarded as the highest accolade in his profession in Australia, Griffith, from Castlemaine in Victoria, was recognised for work which includes the examples below.
“The interest in the Canon AIPP APPAs continues to grow each year,” says AIPP Executive Officer, Peter Myers.
“Again, the awards have received a record number of entries from photographers from around the country. This year more than 850 photographers submitted over 3,000 images in the competitive awards.”
Conducted by some of Australia’s most recognised photographers, judging for the awards took place over the past three days at the industry’s annual PMA Australia show. Each of the thousands of images entered is critiqued in detail by the esteemed judging panel.
2011 saw the addition of four new categories to the awards: advertising, fashion, architecture and fusion.
APPAs Chairman and Judge, Peter Eastway, said: “The fact that photographers are embracing the video capabilities of their equipment saw the introduction of the new fusion photography category.”
In their 35th year, the Canon AIPP APPAs attract a prize pool of more than $60,000 in cash and prizes.
