PSA members in Wales have enjoyed successes in their progression through Stars and ROPA scheme which recognises success in International exhibitions.
Mike Bray achieved 3 star awards in Photo Travel and Photo Journalism sections.
David Edwards achieved 1 and 2 star awards in Photo Journalism
Paul James a relative new member achieved his first colour star
Ian Ledgard achieved Diamond 3 in Colour and Galaxy 6 in both Mono and Photo travel
Rhodri Phillips gained first stars in Colour, Photo Travel and Photo Journalism
Gary Shinner gained the ROPA award of MPSA2 and Galaxy 2 in Mono
Neville Thomas achieved 5 star in Colour.
That is an impressive list and does a lot to raise the profile of Welsh photography. All those mentioned are to be heartily congratulated.
From time to time I see Welsh based photographers featuring in the acceptance lists from International exhibitions. If you are one of those and you are interested in seeking PSA recognition of your work then please contact me for help or advice.
