This is Reportage: Family & This is Reportage Christmas Party 2021!
A couple of weeks ago we had our Christmas Party in London, UK, and it was such a great night! For reasons known to the entire world, we were unable to do the party in 2020, so it felt amazing to be able to come together again this year. Very sadly, just a few days before the event, the UK covid travel rules changed, meaning lots of our European members were unable to make it over – such a shame! – but those that managed to come along all had a super (and perhaps, quite drunken…!) time 🙂
Photographer of the Year and Storyteller of the Year 2021: Sabine Doppelhofer
Honoured to reveal our 2021 Photographer of the Year & Storyteller of the Year: Sabine Doppelhofer! Sabine won a staggering 34 Awards from us in total: 21 Reportage Family Awards and 13 Family Story Awards. This is an absolutely incredible achievement; the likes of which I think we may never see again. Winning a single award from us is incredibly tough; to win so many, so consistently, is quite astonishing.
