In May 2003 I was awarded the Licentiateship of the Royal Photographic Society (L.R.P.S).

The Royal Photographic Society, founded in 1853, is the most prestigious international photographic Society, and has long been recognized for the promotion and maintenance of high photographic standards around the world. Since moving its headquarters to Bath in 1980, it has established itself worldwide, through its programme of touring exhibitions, events and special interest groups.

The awarding of distinctions is fundamental to the society's promotion of standards of excellence, universally respected by amateur and professional photographers alike to whom RPS membership is open.

In order to gain a Distinction a photographer has to submit a portfolio for approval by a highly qualified Panel of Society Fellows or hold one of the acceptable photographic qualifications.

I have included some of the images that contributed to my award.
