I am really thrilled to confirm the image below has been awarded a prestigious “gold” award from SWPP. Each month professionals can enter into the competion under different categories. The images are then judged by a panel of experts, the leading images are awarded with a gold, indicating they are of an extremely high standard. The gold images from each month are then entered into a final competition against each other, an overall winner is selected for each category then put forward to the highly sought after photographer of the year category. Keep your fingers crossed for me and I will let you know how we get on in January at the awards ceremony!!

I have always felt competitions are great way to improve your standards, theres no greater thrill than seeing your images do well against other professional portraits. In every aspect of my photography I always strive to create an image worthy of gold award. We never stop learning, and to have a panel of highly esteemed professionals critique your work is a truly fantastic way to improve.
