SWPP and BPPA Award
By nealejames | May 3, 2007
You know what they say, nobody thinks awards are important until they win one. I’ll be the first to admit that’s been my mantra for many a year professionally. I cringe slightly you see, when I see websites boasting of a million and one awards, ahead of the proof of what they do for their customers. And this is partly because my late father instilled in me a modest security that being confident in what you do, far outways the need to feel loved by surrounding oneself with cups, plaques and platitudes. Besides, we don’t currently have a mantlepiece to pop ‘em on in our apartment. Personally, I have picked up various accolades from time to time, but it’s fair to say I subscribe to that school of thought that feels at Breathe, we’re too busy ’doing stuff,’ to be ‘entering stuff.’ Having said that, he says with a high degree of irony, we won a little recognitition today! Very much appreciated, and a nice way to start a Wednesday. The Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers and British Professional Photographers Association run a monthly awards scheme to rate their members’ work. I popped in one of our body and face painted projects - and roll me over with a light dusting of achievement if it didn’t win Madam. I’ve just received a Fine Art Award. I have to admit to being slightly chuffed at that, modestly of course Dad. It was a picture that took hours to light and retouch. Now, how do I go about building that mantlepiece?

Bloody Well Done, and certainly deserved. Puts my 65th Place in the Digital Photographer for the sunset picture in the shade. Excuse the Pun. Seriously though Tob Job…
