Award Photography

High quality photographs of orchids that receive AOS awards play a crucial role in the society. They serve as a permanent visual history of the best orchids seen by AOS judges and are used as a reference for considering future awards to similar orchids. They are also used to share the beauty of these cream-of-the-crop orchids with the Society's membership though its publications. Accredited award photographers range from hobbyists to professionals, from orchid growers to orchid grower's spouses.
