Ghent lawyer triumphs in Advocaat.be photo competition
With her impressive photo, which shows a lawyer in a toga on the iconic bridge in Rotterdam, Maud Decavel has convincingly embodied the theme "Lawyer in the city". With that photo, she therefore won the audience award in the Advocaat.be photo competition.
The jury, consisting of renowned professionals such as photographer Johan Van der Hasselt of AIKON Productions, specialised in corporate photography, photographer Lieven Blancquaert, photographer Renee Lorie, and Mr Anke Reussens, winner of the previous edition, selected her work as one of the top 10 most beautiful entries. After a fascinating vote in which lawyers and the general public chose their favourite from the top 10, Mr Maud Decavel emerged as the glorious winner.
As a prize, Ms Decavel will receive a professional photo shoot at her office provided by the Klikfabrik. Those images will certainly come in handy later for the office website and social media.
