BIPP Professional Photography Awards 2013

Last Wednesday, 4th December, I attended the British Institute of Professional Photography “Professional Photographic Awards 2013” at Hartwell House, near Aylesbury, UK, and I’m very pleased to announce that I received the Gold Award in Visual Arts and also Photographer of the Year 2013, both for my new series of five images, “Equilibrium”.

I had the great fortune to receive this prestigious award in 2010, but to be awarded this title twice is quite overwhelming!

The BIPP Awards website, which features all of the winners’ work, can be viewed at: www.bipp.com/awards

I am very honoured to receive these awards and my sincere thanks go to the BIPP judges for selecting my work.

From the BIPP Press Release:

Eastern England based photographer, Paul Coghlin FBIPP, has been named ‘Photographer of the Year 2013’ at the BIPP Professional Photography Awards held at Hartwell House in Buckinghamshire, UK, on Wednesday 4 December.

Paul Coghlin FBIPP was named ‘BIPP Photographer of the Year 2013’ for his portfolio of 5 images ‘Equilibrium’ in the Visual Arts category, for which he also received a Gold Award.

Those who have received awards produced some beautiful and original images which truly stood out from the crowd and encompassed what being a professional photographer is really about.’

New image – “Martello I”

Taken yesterday on the Suffolk coast, here in eastern England, in strong winds and driving rain.  Only 12 degrees C.  October in July!  Not the best conditions and especially tricky trying to click the stopwatch and the cable release simultaneously and also hold a blowing-around, turning-inside-out umbrella.  I managed to get soaked and my leggings muddy, but at least the gear stayed pretty dry.  I can always put the waterproofed clothing in the washing machine.  Can’t do that with a Nikon..!

Fine Art Photography Workshop, Long Melford, Suffolk, UK – 13th July 2011

As part of the British Institute of Professional Photography’s training events series for 2011, I’ll be holding a fine-art photography workshop in the historic town of Long Melford, in Suffolk, eastern England, on Wednesday 13th July 2011, from 2pm.

During the programme, I’ll be discussing the elements of fine-art photography and the creative methods that can be employed.  By using a selection of my images, we’ll look at the behind-the-scenes process involved, including location choices, image composition, photographic capture, plus the challenges of marketing and selling the finished work.

The workshop also includes the opportunity for the participants to practice composition and technique.

Both BIPP members and non-members are welcome and for further information, please visit the events website at Fine Art Workshop.  If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email me or the BIPP.

Hope to see you soon,

Paul

Visiting the RA Summer Exhibition 2011, London

Last week we caught a fast train and headed into a hot and steamy London to see the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2011, which the Pink Tulip Study IV print has been selected for, and it was great to see the huge range of artworks.  And also huge as in size; some paintings and photographic prints literally towered over us, filling the space from the floor to the ceiling.  Imagine the size of the printer needed for such large photo prints, or the space a painter would have to find to work on giant canvases like these…

The exhibition is currently on and continues until 15th August.  For those of us in the UK, BBC2 is broadcasting The Culture Show this coming Thursday (16th June), which is covering the event  in a one-hour special.  Hope you get the chance to visit the show; the photographic prints are displayed in the first exhibition room you come to.  Enjoy!
