"Vinny and David" received Second Place in the 2016 IAFOR Documentary Photography Award, which was announced at the European Conference on Media, Communication and Film on July 14 in Brighton, England .
"The IAFOR Documentary Photography Award is an international photography award which seeks to promote and assist in the professional development of emerging documentary photographers and photojournalists (under age 31). The award is supported by The International Academic Forum (IAFOR) – Asia’s Think Tank – and builds off of the strength of the IAFOR Documentary Film Award, now in its fifth year. Documentary has a rich history of exposing truths, telling stories, raising awareness and creating discussion — all practices valued at IAFOR."
