Every Year, the World's best photographers are invited to enter four images in the Australian Professional Photographer of the Year Awards (APPA). Judging is done by a panel of five photographers who are experts in their field. The standard is very high and although the entrant's work is viewed anonymously, judging can be brutal!
Andrew & Robyn Campbell are not only successful entrants, but have been senior judges for 17 years consecutively. During this time, Andrew has reached the status of Master x 5 - with over 100 award winning images to his credit, including the following titles:
