Following on from my success at the MPA in August, I learned today that the Britsh Institute of Professional Photography (BIPP) has also awarded me an Associateship in wedding photography. The ‘normal’ professional qualification is a Licentiateship which denotes that photographers have an established level of skill and competence. The Associateship qualification is aimed at the top 10% of photographers whose work shows style, individuality and a high standard of craftmanship and creative ability.
Gary awarded MPA Associateship
Yesterday I was delighted to be awarded an Associateship by the Master Photographers Association (MPA). Under the scrutiny of 7 Judges and a Chairman of Qualifications in Darlington, I successfully presented a Panel of 20 Wedding Images from the last 2 years. The ‘normal’ professional qualification is a Licentiateship which denotes that photographers have an established level of skill and competence. The Associateship qualification is aimed at the top 10% of photographers whose work shows style, individuality and a high standard of craftmanship and creative ability. I am grateful to Ray Lowe for his help in mentoring me towards this qualification.
