Over the next few weeks, we're sharing some of the great content our BIPP speakers presented at The Photography & Video Show back in March.

First up, we have David Bostock FBIPP, who presented on his experiences in underwater photography - which is quite a shift from his two decades in the wedding and bo***ir market.

David gave a fascinating talk into what it takes to get into this unique niche - the challenges, the kit and the creativity.

Inside the latest issue of the Photographer, we look back at the iconic industrial photography of Maurice Broomfield FBIPP, celebrating one of Britain’s most distinctive visual storytellers.

We also examine the latest developments in generative AI and what they could mean for the future of the photography industry. Tim Wallace goes behind the scenes of his award-winning automotive imagery, Esther Towler LBIPP presents her photobook on Britain’s rare native horses and ponies, and BIPP International Print Master winner John Hellström explains why the photographic process is not complete until an image is printed.

Susan Allan shares her latest book uncovering Edinburgh’s hidden history, we look at John Henshall FBIPP’s book reflecting on his fascinating career in media, and Ean Flanders ABIPP’s exhibition on the musical heritage of Liverpool’s Black community explores the story of Toxteth, alongside other news from across the industry and the BIPP.

The latest issue of The Photographer should have landed in our Member's letterboxes over the festive period. The digital edition will be sent out to our newsletter subscribers today.

This issue brings together a diverse overview of professional photography, celebrating achievements within the BIPP while exploring the craft, mindset and dedication of photographers. We highlight the BIPP’s ongoing commitment to recognising excellence through its qualifications and competitions, showcasing the high standards upheld across the membership and beyond.

The issue features results from the latest qualification assessments, with features on successful Fellowship, Associateship and Licentiateship panels. These articles offer insight into the technical aspects, creative vision and long-term commitment required to achieve professional recognition, while revealing the personal journeys behind each panel.

Alongside this, we showcase award-winning work from the Monthly Competition, sharing the judges’ perspectives alongside insights from photographers working across a wide range of genres. This issue also includes a full feature on BIPP Photographer of the Year, Frankie Adamson FBIPP, exploring her professional approach and the foundations of her award-winning work.
Print excellence also takes centre stage with a showcase of the winning prints from the International Print Masters competition, which attracted entries from around the world in an outstanding display of photographic and printing skill.

We speak with several photographers about how their winning prints came together, and feature an interview with International Print Master winner Giorgia Corniola, who shares insight into her image and the photographic and print processes behind it.
