SIMPP, SWPP & SIFGP

This is just a quick update for everyone.

Zero Eight’s work has now been accepted into the following Societies:

SIMPP: The Society of International Media and Press Photographers.

SWPP: The Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers.

SIFGP: The Society of International Fashion and Glamour.

To be accepted we had to show our skills and commitments to professional photography. We now we have to continue to abide by rules and a code of conduct set by the societies.

The societies are only open to full time professional, semi-professional and up and coming photographers.

The next stage:

Over the coming year Zero Eight is working towards one of the following qualifications:

Associateship
Fellowship
Craftsman

These titles will allow us to hold an abbreviated term after our name such as:

ASWIPP: Associate of the Society of International Wedding and Portrait Photographers.

FSPPA: Fellow of the British Professional Photographers Associates.

CrSWPP: Craftsman of the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers.

Wow you may think…many letters and words. Yes there are 15 terms all together. We are unsure as to what qualification to go for, but we are certain that your images will be part of what we will be submitting.

It is a gruelling assessment to gain the titles as some photographers have been working hard towards these for many years. However this is just a guarantee that we will be working even harder at achieving those exceptional images for you on your special day.

Take Care
