This was the title of a press release we were sent today by the BIPP with the very exciting news that Mark had won a prestigious Silver Award in the Abstract / Illustrative category at their award ceremony over the weekend. We had been unable to attend in person as Mark was photographing a client’s wedding.
Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire played host to the British Institute of Professional Photography’s National Photographic Awards Celebration on 27 November.
Mark journeyed through two stages of judging to win a prestigious Silver Award in the Abstract / Illustrative category. He also received three Merits in the People and Portraiture, Wedding and Fashion and Hair and Beauty categories.
As the press release went on to say, Andy Gotts FBIPP, enthused “The standards we set in the BIPP Awards are extremely high. These pictures by Mark are outstanding examples of the best in International photography. All photographers joining our organisation go through a challenging qualifying procedure and people buying photography should be reassured to see the BIPP symbol alongside a photographer’s name.”
