Lisa Saad APP M.Photog III - 2016 Australian Professional Advertising Photographer of the Year
"Not only was I blessed to win the Advertising category but to win the overall and be the 2016 AIPP Australian Professional Photographer of the Year has completely humbled and honoured me in so many ways that I am overwhelmed with pride. These awards do mean a lot to me. I have been working consistently the only way I know how to achieve this milestone and I am so glad that I have done it completely on my terms and in my own unique way. There is no other feeling than realising a goal and having it recognised in such a way. I truly believe that in order to achieve anything all you need to do is truly follow what feels right and only create when it does that way you know you are in line with your true path. Thank you AIPP, Judges and Sponsors for such an honour."
