Ringwood photographer Ann Aveyard has been granted membership of the ‘Photographers Bar’ with the Guild of Professional Photographers for the second successive year.
Membership of the ‘Photographers Bar’ is a distinction difficult to achieve and is awarded to those photographers who have successfully had images assessed by the Guild of Photographers over the course of a year and have attained a score that evidences an exceptional level of professional skill and consistency throughout that full year.
Guild Director Lesley Thirsk said, “I am delighted for Ann as this is a great achievement. Submitting and having images assessed every month for a year and reaching the required standards to become a member of the Photographers Bar is very, very demanding and to win the Bar two years in succession is an amazing achievement. It illustrates her commitment, skill and consistency. She should be very proud of what she has achieved!”
On hearing the news Ann said, “I am very proud, honoured and delighted to have won this prestigious award. I am passionate about photography and enjoy many genres which include wedding photography, family portraiture and wildlife. I feel very privileged to capture the love and emotion of a wedding day, special family memories and freezing a moment in time.”
