Pengelly Photography are proud to annouce Kevin Pengelly has just been awarded his Associateship with the BIPP, British Insitute Professional Photographers.

Kevin Pengelly is now Associate level with both professional organisations, on Monday Kevins panel was judged by a panel of 6 Fellowship standard photographers who make up the qualification panel.

Those who read our blog might be wondering what is Associate standard, well in Professional Photography there is 3 levels Licentiate, Associate and the highest Fellowship.

Licentiateship (LBIPP&LMPA) This is the first level of qualified membership which assesses a true measure of competence. The candidate will be required to produce a panel of work produced to a standard that can be reasonably expected from a professional image maker.

Associateship (ABIPP&AMPA) is midway between Licentiateship and Fellowship and denotes a high standard of craftsmanship and individual ability. At Associateship level work will demonstrate a refinement of technical skills and creative input, added to the competence of Licentiateship.

Fellowship (FBIPP&FMPA) is the higest standard qualifications attainable and recognises distinguished individual ability and exceptional standards of excellence. Fellowship requires the candidate to produce a panel of work that demonstrates extremely high levels of techinque and creative ability and to show a uniqueness of style and approach to image making.

Kevin Pengelly is now allowed to have the following letters behind his name, Kevin Pengelly AMPA ABIPP.

A full press release will be released later this week.
