QUALIFICATIONS

MARY MCCLYMONT ABIPP Portraiture

“My experience in working toward my LBIPP qualification was hard but positive. The first hurdle was deciding what my panel would be. I remembered my Grandmother having a flapper dress, and my love for the Art-Deco period inspired me to produce a panel of 20 Gatsbyinspired images.

Arriving at the qualification venue, I was nervous and never expected the panel qualification to be considered for ABIPP, and the joy of actually receiving both the LBIPP and ABIPP on the same day was amazing; I still cannot stop smiling.

My qualifications have inspired me to follow my heart and work towards becoming a full-time photographer.”

“Ihave been meaning to start my BIPP qualification journey for a while. Putting my digital Licentiateship panel together and discussing the images with my Mentor, Su Kaye, was a real eyeopener!

I know I am too close to my own images, and every subject has some emotional connection for me, so scrutinising them with the objective of how they would be judged as a panel was really enlightening. I am very proud of my BIPP qualification and would like to say a big thank you to the judges who gave their time to consider our panels. I am now excited about planning for my Associateship panel!”

“Iam truly delighted to have finally achieved my first qualification with BIPP. In the aftermath of a pandemic and the turbulence of an impending recession, I needed something to focus my energies on, revitalise and remind me of how and why I do photography.

The South East regional members were all hugely supportive, and their encouragement pushed me to test my own boundaries during preparation for submission. My hope is that I can use my qualification to push myself to the forefront of prospective client lists.”
