Paul Reiffer Nominated for The Societies’ Photographer of the Year 2014

Paul Reiffer has been shortlisted for The Societies’ Photographer of the Year 2014. The Societies is Europe’s largest all-welcome association for the serious photographer.

Going up against some of the worlds most renowned photographers, Paul Reiffer will compete for the prestigious award of Travel Photographer of the Year and The Societies’ Photographer of the Year, with the winner being revealed at The Societies’ 2015 Convention Awards Dinner held on 17 January 2015 in London.

Over 12,500 images were entered in to the competition and photographers from all around the globe have been putting forward their images making this a truly international competition.

Phil Jones The Societies’ CEO says, “This year we have seen a fantastic range of images and the standard has been very high. The finalist represent some of the finest images entered in to the competition and have competed against some of the world’s best photographers. Congratulations to all our finalists.”

Paul says – “Against some of the worlds most renowned photographers, my image of Huvafen Fushi‘s Spa Jetty – “Overwater” – will compete for the award of Travel Photographer of the Year. To go with this bit of good news, there was a bit of a surprise waiting for me when I got to Huvafen Fushi last weekend after shooting at W Maldives: Their digital artists have used the image as the backdrop for their Christmas 2014 campaign materials. And that’s not all. The same image is also the feature shot for their “Decade” CD, celebrating the soundtrack to the island for the past 10 years, mixed by DJ Ravin. Not bad for an early-morning wakeup call in paradise, I guess!”
