OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE
International Recognition for Local Photographer
Local Photographer Alan Harbord has gained international recognition by winning a significant award with the Guild of Professional Photographers.
The Guild of Photographers 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 10,000 entries during 2014. 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!
Alan Harbord was honoured to become a Runner-Up Top 10 Photographer of the Year in the people genre - a remarkable achievement when one considers the number and standard of the entries.
Alan Harbord also gained runner up in All Round Photographer of the Year.
Their Award was presented to them at the Guild's Awards night at Crewe Hall (a stunning Jacobean mansion in Cheshire), earlier this week.
Steve/Lesley Thirsk (Director of the Guild) said that he is “both proud and delighted that Alan Harbord 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 Alan Harbord quite rightly should be delighted with their extraordinary achievement’
Members of the Guild are committed to achieving the highest standards of professionalism and to a journey of continuing professional development.
The Guild website (www.photoguild.co.uk) lists members throughout the country who offer this commitment, along with advice on how to choose a photographer that will meet your needs.
