Joshua Holko wins big at the APPA

We're taking the opportunity to repost Moab Master, Joshua Holko's blog describing his four Australian Professional Photography Awards

"Once  a year the annual APPA Australian Professional Photography Awards are held in Australia. This year they were conveniently held in my home state of Victoria. The event is sponsored by Canon Australia and is run by the AIPP Australian Institute of Professional Photography. Widely regarded by many as the toughest photographic competition in the world today APPA remains one of the few world wide competitions where the finished ‘print’ is judged (in the vast majority of categories) by a panel of professional photographers who are each considered experts in their chosen specialities. 

...This year I was thrilled to receive two Silver with Distinction awards and two Silver Awards for two photographs from Antarctica and two from Iceland respectively. Each of these prints was printed on my personal favourite paper – Moab Somerset Museum Rag"

Aussie Moab Master

We're excited to announce the addition of our very first Australian to the Moab Master program.  Joshua Holko has appeared a few times in this blog recognizing his award-winning work.  

His recent photo Blue Berg won the prestigious Gold Award at the Australian Professional Photography Awards.  The upcoming issue of Color Magazine will also be featuring his work in a four-page spread.  And next month the International Aperture Academy will be featuring Holko as their photographer of the month.

We were impressed by his overall body of work (not to mention his favorite paper being Moab). Holko prints all his exhibition images on Somerset Museum Rag, which "has a gorgeous, sensuous texture that is a delight for the senses."

Welcome to Moab-country, Joshua.
