We’re extremely proud an article about the AIBP Visionary Awards is currently featured on the @rangefindermag homepage! We’re thrilled to see such recognition for the competition in its inaugural year. After years without a dedicated competition for the boudoir genre, many of us have invested great time and effort into making this happen.
Without the support of our incredible panel of judges and sponsors, we wouldn’t have been able to create the Visionary Awards—the leading boudoir image competition in the photo industry.
