Overall winner in the Natural World genre for January’s IOM Competition

So happy to have just received my framed image after it was chosen as the overall winner in the Natural World genre for January’s Guild of Photographers IOM Competition.

It is absolutely beautiful and just shows that framing is such an important art form that really brings an image to life. The frame has been perfectly chosen and compliments the image beautifully.

Printed and framed and gifted by One Vision imaging , thank you to The Guild Of Photographers & One Vision. It will take pride of place in my home.

The Guild of Photographers awards 2023

In February, The Guild of Photographers (TGOP) hosts its annual Awards Ceremony, a highly anticipated event among its members. This year's grand ceremony unfolded at the elegant Doubletree Hilton in Stoke-on-Trent. The event serves as a platform to acknowledge outstanding accomplishments, presenting coveted titles such as 'Image of the Year,' 'Photographer of the Year,' and the prestigious 'Photographers Bar' within specific categories. Winning any of these awards marks a noteworthy achievement for photographers.

I'm excited to announce that my efforts throughout the year were met with success, earning me several mentions during the Awards Ceremony. My primary objective was to achieve the Photographers Bar in the Natural World Category. The Guild defines this distinction as a prestigious acknowledgment of consistent excellence in photography. To attain the Photographers Bar in a specific category, members must submit a portfolio of four images, each scoring a minimum of 70 points in the Guild's meticulous evaluation process. Once earned in one category, members can strive to achieve this honor in other categories.

Additionally, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that I secured the title of 'International Top 10 Photographer Of The Year' in the Natural World category. It was truly gratifying to see my image featured in the awards' official book, showcasing all the finalists.

These achievements serve as strong motivation for the upcoming year!
