I was delighted to accept (I’m told).

MPA members can ONLY be full time professional photographers. No weekend amateurs or part-time operatives are permitted and all members must have full professional indemnity insurance and public liability. This means that all of our clients have the protection of knowing that their photographer is a fully qualified professional who abides to strict codes of conduct. We also try to improve our own photographic knowledge by inviting guest speakers from all over the world to help us understand new techniques and methods.

My first input into the regions plans for this year is to try and persued a photographer I greatly admire to come and talk to us. Chris Blott. You may have seen his work in the fashion pages of the Sunday Herald or if you are a bride to be, in the Scottish Wedding Directory.

He is an awesome photographer, and one that I have been an avid fan of for many years. Check out his website here. Inspiring stuff. And best of all – he is Scottish.
