Crosshill based photographer walks away with a major award

Brag based Photographer, Laura Spence recently gained international recognition by winning a significant award with the Guild of (Professional) Photographers.
The Guild is the highly regarded national photographic body whose members are dedicated to enhancing their skills in the art, craft and profession of photography.
It runs an Image of the Month Competition, and received around 12,500 entries during 2017, from photographers in the Uk and overseas!
Each image is scored, and the scores from the year are then totalled to determine who wins one of the Guild’s Top 10 Photographer awards / becomes the Guild’s Photographer of the Year. This is clearly a very demanding year long process!
Laura was honoured to become a Top 10 Photographer of the Year in the Newborn and Baby genre – a remarkable achievement when one considers the number and standard of the entries.
Steve Thirsk (Director of the Guild) said –
He is “both proud and delighted that Laura has achieved this recognition after 12 months of
submitting the highest quality images.”
The Guild has very demanding standards when judging photographic competitions. The judging is undertaken by a panel of internationally recognised experts from a variety of photographic backgrounds, so Laura quite rightly should be delighted with her extraordinary achievement’
Members of the Guild are committed to achieving the highest standards of professionalism and to a journey of continuing professional development.
