Fox Valley Landscape Photographer Earns Photographer of the Year Award

 Brian DeWolf of Batavia, IL has earned a Bronze Level Photographer of the Year Award from Professional Photographers of America (PPA).  Photographer of the Year presentations were made at PPA’s annual convention, Imaging USA, in January in Phoenix, AZ.

2004 was the inaugural year for PPA’s Photographer of the Year Awards.  They were developed as a way to encourage photographers to improve their artistic and technical skills and demonstrate their talent through competition, as well as a way for the public to discern the best of the best. 

“These awards are among the most prestigious in the industry,” confirms PPA Print Exhibition Committee Chairman Helen Yancy.  “The recipients of these awards have proven the quality of their work on a consistent basis in one of the highest quality image competitions in the world, PPA’s International Print Competition.”

A PPA member earns a Bronze Level Photographer of the Year Award by placing all four images included in their print case in PPA’s renowned General Collection – an incredible accomplishment.  In 2008, Brian DeWolf was one of only 54 Bronze Level Photographers of the Year. 

PPA, a worldwide association, exists to assist its more than 20,000 members in achieving their professional, artistic and fraternal goals, promote public awareness of the profession, and to advance the making of images in all of its disciplines as an art, a science, and a visual recorder of history.
