Fearless Awards Photos
I stumbled across this list of 143 Fearless Award winning photos and my mind is officially blown. Something about these photos simultaneously makes me want to give up (how could I ever match up to this?) and get out and shoot like mad until I can do what these photographers do. I’ll post a few of my favorite, but please go over and click through the whole list. It’s worth it!
CHRISTINA CRAFT- Vancouver, BC
I think I looked at this photo for 5 minutes to try to figure out how it was done. It must be a car reflection, but it’s so masterfully done that at first I thought this bride was projected on the side of a building!
RICH JANNIELLO - New York City
This one really made me tear up a little bit. I need to work to use reflections more often, so many of the winning photographs utilize them in some way.
MARCIN RUSINOWSKI - Poland
I’ll end with a photographer from Poland (being married to a Pole means I get strangely excited when I see things related to his homeland.)
Also:
I'm a farm-raised almost-crunchy stroller-pushing picture-taking lifestyle-blog-writing gastronomy-obsessed divine-seeking thrift-store-combing cheese-inhaling pavement-pounding laughter-sprinkling lover of individuality and taking chances.
I also saw the list and thought it was amazing!! My wedding photographer has three photos on the list and I was so proud of him because he did such amazing work on our day!
1What awesome photos!
2Love the last one-I imagine there was some photoshopping involved to get that amazing texture on the veil?
3I love that so many are not necessarily posed but at least appear to be naturally occurring moments. I think that must be the hardest part for a photographer, to capture or create and capture special moments without things looking fake. Mostly skill but part luck too I guess?

Sometimes I think I have to be awesome photojournalism, and that means I can’t really do posed stuff and be “cool” or vice versa (probably doesn’t make much sense) but I love that this site reminds me that I can do either or if I want.
