May has been named the Michigan Press Photographers Association's Photographer of the Year five times and the coveted Barry Edmonds Michigan Understanding Award five times as well, which was established to recognize and honor photographers work that best portrays the common purpose of man while exploring human relationships, friendship and concern for the environment, a lifting hope for peace.\n\nMay has also won four SPJ Sigma Delta Chi awards for various works, including a portrait series of isolation in COVID-19, continued water crisis coverage and coverage of four tornadoes that ravaged Genesee County.\n\nHe is an alumnus of the Eddie Adams, and mentors photojournalists at The Mountain Workshops in Kentucky.
