We are very proud to announce that last month, Leigh gained the qualification of Licentiate of the British Institute of Professional Photography. He had to undergo an interview and have a panel of twenty images judged by eight of the Fellows of the Institute, which was quite scary, but he was told immediately that his work was of such a high standard he could have applied for the next level of qualification (Associate)! But we missed the deadline for application for Associate for 2008, so will have to apply for that next year.

We chose to join the BIPP because they have been around for over 100 years and in our opinion they are the leading qualifying organisation for Professional Photographers. They have strict entry requirements, so it really means a lot to us to have Leigh's work recognised as being of such a high standard.

It will also hopefully give potential clients additional confidence in our professionalism and artistic abilities - with so many photographers now offering Boudoir Photography I am sure our qualification will help to attract the more discerning consumers amongst you.
