Seymour Telegraph photographer Steve Huntley has received a Victorian Country Press Association award for his spectacular feature on army manoeuvres at Puckapunyal.
Steve works for McPherson Media Group out of its Echuca office but is often in Seymour helping with the Telegraph’s coverage of major events.
He has only been working with the group for the past two years as a freelancer and this is his first major media award.
“It would have been hard to miss getting good pictures on the day, there was so much happening,” Steve said.
“From helicopters firing rockets to tanks in combat roles and soldiers launching ground to air weaponry, it was quite a show,” he said.
McPherson Media group editor (non-dailies) Andrew Mole said Steve’s work had award written all over it from the minute he first saw the images that had been captured.
“Steve has joined us without media or professional photography experience and has been an absolute asset to the company and the papers he works with,” Andrew added.
“It is an award well deserved and was a brilliant feature when it ran as a four-page spread in the Telegraph and we all congratulate Steve on a job very well done.”
