It seems weird putting ANYthing of mine in the "Professional" Gallery, but I guess that's where this belongs.
Some of you may remember back this past summer, I was asked by my boss to do a photo shoot for our ad campaign. I'd never done anything like that before, and sought a lot of advice from some of the fine TPF talent, and nearly made myself sick over the whole thing the day before the shoot...but in the end, thought it turned out pretty well.
I posted a follow-up to that thread later to say that as a result of the shoot and the successful ad campaign, I'd gotten a decent raise AND they are buying me a DSLR for work purposes (which I *still* don't have...but I DID get the raise, so...).
Well, now I have a follow-up to the follow-up thread. Yesterday I found out that the ad campaign featuring my photos won a Silver Addy Award at the local AAF (American Advertising Foundation, I think) ceremony!
Yeah, the Addys are really awarding the graphic designer/ad company who designed the actual ad campaign, but I figure that my photos at least had SOMETHING to do with it being an award-winning campaign!
So...Woot! Yay me! I think I'll buy some bacon, to celebrate!
Here's a few of the final ads; there were 6 or 7 in all. The campaign was "How Do You Use Your Commute?" The people in the photos are all actual bus passengers, and each ad features a different person and a line describing one of the ways they said they like to use their commute time.
