The Societies' Photographic Convention in London

I have been invited to do a presentation about sports photography at The Societies' annual Photographic Convention being held in the Hilton London Metrople between 14-20 January 2014. It is huge honour to speak at the largest convention in Europe, which attracts around 15,000 people over the week. Attendees are mainly from the UK, but some travel from all corners of the world to the event. There will be around 100 speakers and nearly all are full-time professional photographers, with some having world class reputations.

My 90min slot is on the morning of the 19th and the link to my speaker advert is:

The Photographer of the Year awards night is on Saturday 18th January, but my two gold award photos (see below) didn't make it into the final of the sports category. However, it is great to hear that Julie Fraser from Thurso, has been nominated in the baby portrait category, one of the categories with the greatest amount of competition and hardest to win, so a superb achievement. Julie and myself will be sitting amongst the "Scottish contingent" for the awards dinner and fingers crossed she brings back the highly prized globe trophy to Caithness.
