Ollie Dale Of Virtually Famous Judges 2016 Epson/Nzipp Iris Professional Photography Awards

Ollie Dale was invited to judge at the 2016 Epson / NZIPP Iris Professional Photography Awards held in June in Wellington. Previously, Ollie stood down form the NZIPP Honours Council in 2015 after five years organising and facilitating the awards, meaning Ollie was eligible to be a judge in 2016.

After judging multiple categories in Wellington, Ollie was invited to judge the 2016 Australian Professional Photography Awards, to be held 27-29 August in Melbourne, including the video category, a category he won three years running (2012-2014) in the NZ awards, which probably explains why he has been chosen for this role.

As Ollie explains, "I have judged at the APPAs once before, in 2013, and I really enjoy the quality of the professional photography in Australia. It's also great to see so many entries from New Zealand photographers in their awards, showing our photography is definitely world class. I look forward to another opportunity to be an international judge, and to network with our fellow photography neighbours in Australia."

Ollie has been involved in professional photography since 2003 and as he puts it, the crux of great imagery is an understanding of photography. Ollie has been at the forefront of award-winning photography and extensive experience in almost every genre since 2003. As for ‘slowed down’ videos at 200 frames per second, 2K raw, this is no problem to Ollie as he says it can add drama to a story and he can do 200 frames per second in beautiful S-Log RAW files, slowing those amazing moments down 8x, to really let your audience see your story.

Virtually Famous also offer full editing services, utilising the Adobe Suite. They also know the best specialists in town for those extra special jobs, as is exhibited by the calibre of his clients, including Saatchi & Saatchi, Auckland International Airport, Microsoft, ASB, Spark, DB, etc.
