The Next Chapter Starts Here

Being awarded the Licentiate Distinction with the Royal Photographic Society sees a chapter in my personal and photographic journeys closes and a new one is starting. I have just received feedback on my success panel here it is. “Congratulations to Simon Lawrence LRPS who was successful recently with his portfolio of monochrome images for the Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society.  Simon…

LRPS Project/ The End!

My head is still trying to take it in but on the 8th of this month I was awarded the Licentiate Distinction with the Royal Photographic Society. It took nearly a year of hard work, support from my partner, friends and the staff and volunteers at the Society. It has been an amazing journey, one that sees one photographic journey end and another one begin. I saw this project very much as the last…

LRPS Project – 2nd Advisory Day

Well I have just had my 2nd Advisory day and I have to say the nerves were singing a merry song for sure. I would first like to thank Carol and Ian for the constructive feedback, David the Zoom host and Brian for the handling of my files and support.

It did not stop me from doing anything and thanks to my amazing partner I became a…

LRPS Project – Initial Review

I have spent the time since my last post reading the Society’s “How To” and “Requirements” guides for the Licentiate Distinction and reviewing successful panels on their website, their Facebook Distinction group and searching the internet. The guides are very informative and I would recommend going to the Society’s website for the latest versions. I had in mind that I was going to submit my…

LRPS Project – The Cunning Plan

The journey has begun, there is no going back and it feels like I need a plan, as Baldrick would say “A cunning plan.” I have started my project to achieve the Licentiate Distinction “L” with the Royal Photographic Society (RPS). One of the most important lessons I have learnt especially in dealing with depression and anxiety is to breakdown anything I find difficult and troublesome down into…
