PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS

Photographers Paul Maddison and David Armour are currently qualified members of The Master Photographers Association (The MPA) and The British Institute Of Professional Photographers (The BIPP). Both organisations set a benchmark for recognising members as having attained and continue to maintain the highest standard of professional photography skills. Membership of these professional bodies is intended to give prospective clients the confidence and peace of mind that a certain standard of service will be guaranteed.

Both The MPA and BIPP offer ongoing support and resources to the professional photographer. They also hold annual Awards Events both nationally and regionally to recognise and honour the very best photographers the industry has to offer.

Over the years both Paul and David have gained awards at the highest level both nationally and in the North East region. In total, they have received over 100 awards for photography in categories covering weddings, portraits, commercial photography and fashion.
