Stephen Busuttil

swpp member Stephen Busuttil Stephen Born in 1973, Stephen Busuttil wasted no time to discover his passion—photography. At age 14,
he began as an assistant to a local photographer and following his high school graduation, he immediately enrolled into a four-year university photography program in England.

At age 19, Stephen began his professional photographic career. He joined the National Press Club and became a Press and PR Photographer for Times of Malta, a national newspaper.

Within three years, Stephen opened his own Professional Photographic Studio and Laboratory. He grew his business along-side the development of new electronic technologies and softwares of the 20th century, and became the first Maltese professional photographer to go completely digital in 2000.

His dedication to Professional Photography includes membership to several associations. Stephen has been a member of the Malta Institute of Professional Photography (MIPP) since its formation in 1996. Having served a variety of executive positions, including Chief Executive Officer, Stephen has been elected President of the MIPP since 2007.

SWPP International-Award Winner of 2006 and 2007 in Press and PR, Stephen has earned several other distinguishing awards and assignments. In 2006, he also received the ultimate accolade in Professional Photography upon submitting a fellowship panel to the MIPP. His Press and PR subject was unanimously approved by the International panel of judges for its work quality, earning him a recipient of the Fellowship Distinction Award from the MIPP and the British Professional Photographers Association.

As Malta entered into the European Union and hosted the prestigious Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), Stephen was invited by the Government of Malta to participate as an Official Photographer. In March 2007, he once again ventured into competition in Italy. Orvieto Fotografia awarded him three Silver and one Bronze. He also captured the 3rd Place in the overall award in the Press and PR category.

Stephen is a local leader in digital image editing and workflow, providing services and lectures to fellow photographers. His company Image Consulting Malta provides Professional Wedding and Portrait services, as well as digital design solutions.
