Eminent photojournalist Tamma Srinivasa Reddy has been chosen for the prestigious Honorary Excellence IUSF Award of Image Colleague Society in the US this year, in recognition of his contributions to the field of photography.
He is one among the four professional photographers from across the world, and the only one from India, chosen for this honour, ICS International founder Tony Le Kim Thuan said.
The award would be presented during the ensuing International Photography Convention in California in November.
"It is a matter of professional significance that you already bagged all the four prestigious international honours of ICS (ICS, USPA, SWAN and FMPA).
The current award represents your unending success trail," Thuan said in a letter to Srinivasa Reddy.
Reddy, who earlier received the British Royal Photographic Society honour, had so far won 168 gold medals, 497 awards and 876 honours in various international events over the past 25 years.
Reddy is currently chairman of India International Photographic Council and general secretary of Andhra Pradesh Photography Academy.
Expressing happiness over the ICS award, he thanked the jury for selecting him.
