Moscow Photo Awards Honorable Mention

by Fire Girl Jess on November 2, 2015

This was one email I was excited—and surprised—to see show up in my inbox this weekend. The subject line read “You Are a MIFA Winner,” and it took me a minute to recall the Moscow International Foto Awards, which I had entered this past summer. Seems like a lifetime ago (maybe it was).

A series of eight images from May’s South Pacific expedition with IndiFly and Costa took an honorable mention in the Professional Category for Editorial-Essay. It’s beyond surreal to see my name listed with photographic greats such as Ed Kasha; thanks to the Moscow team for the nod. This was a very special assignment, and the images are beginning to hit the streets in Costa’s 2016 dealer guide (look for a post later this week) and in the contest circuit.

Again, thanks to everyone who made this shoot possible. We had an awesome team in an amazing location, and while it was one of the more challenging shoots I’ve been on, it was also one of the more fun simply due to the people—both on the team and the locals we met on location. Excited to share these images with an international audience!Screen Shot 2015-11-01 at 5.09.33 PM
