Yesterday I attended the Professional Photographers Association of Northern Ireland’s (PPANI) annual dinner at the Beech Hill Country House Hotel.

A great chance to catch-up with peers, it was also the announcement of this year’s PPANI Awards Finalists, which are the most prestigious in Northen Ireland. The Professional Photographers Association of Northern Ireland celebrates and identifies individuals that have achieved outstanding success through their superb images and gives every qualified member the opportunity to compete against other members for the title of PPANI Photographer of the Year.

This was my first year entering the awards and I am delighted to have been short-listed for five awards. Check out the images that have earned me a place in the finals below:
