📸 Will McCrum Memorial Portraiture Competition – Results & Recap 🎉

What a fantastic night at CPA Camera Club as we hosted the Will McCrum Memorial Portraiture Competition! It was a privilege to welcome so many photographers again and to see an incredible display of talent.

With 91 stunning portrait entries from 25 photographers across multiple clubs, our judge Brian McClure had the tough task of selecting this year’s winners. His insightful feedback provided valuable learning moments for all, and we’re grateful for the time and expertise he brought to the competition.

A huge thanks to Vittorio Silvestri for once again organising a brilliant event, ensuring everything ran smoothly. And of course, no CPA night would be complete without a cuppa, biscuits, and plenty of good craic!
