Portraiture
“M
y experience in working toward my LBIPP qualification was hard but positive. The first hurdle was deciding what my panel would be. I remembered my Grandmother having a flapper dress, and my love for the Art-Deco period inspired me to produce a panel of 20 Gatsbyinspired images. Arriving at the qualification venue, I was nervous and never expected the panel qualification to be considered for ABIPP, and the joy of actually receiving both the LBIPP and ABIPP on the same day was amazing; I still cannot stop smiling. My qualifications have inspired me to follow my heart and work towards becoming a full-time photographer.”
