His comment ▼

After challenging AsiAWPA since 2019, I was finally selected for the Grand Award. Initially, it was part of improving my skills, but now, winning an award is a given, and even my colleagues can reach within the top 3. This genre might differ from customer needs, but I will continue to challenge myself to improve my skills from the perspective of my attitude towards each photo and technical aspects, aiming for the title of Master Photographer. I would like to express my gratitude again to my superiors and fellow photographers who gave me this opportunity, and above all, to the customers who entrusted me, and to everyone involved in pre-wedding photography.
