The single most important event in the MIPP's annual calendar is now less than a month away, and this year promises to be fresher and more exciting than ever!

19/09/11

The MIPP International Convention in collaboration with The Societies (SWPP) will be held at the San Gorg Corinthia once again, between the 14th and 16th October 2011. This year's line up includes:

Trevor and Faye Yerbury: Their distinct style in portraiture and nude photography has made them famous around the world. This year they will bring some of this knowledge to the MIPP convention, through a showcase of their work and a workshop on women photography. Trevor and Faye will also exhibit their latest collection "Naked Ruins" exclusively at Gallery Pi in Valletta. All members who book in advance are invited to attend the opening on the 13th October.
Barrie and Bev Downie will be giving us a triplet of sessions on weddings, including a workshop on Saturday morning.
Podge Kelly and Tom Lee have been regular attendees to the MIPP convention over the last years. Apart from being fun chaps (especially with a beer in hand), they bring with them many years of experience in weddings and portrait photography amongst others. This year they will be leading one of our Saturday workshops together. Guaranteed fun!
Those who have been to the MIPP convention know for sure who Phil Jones is. The CEO of The Societies, Phil has many years of experience in photography, and will be sharing some of that knowledge during his session on Judging.
After last year's stunning presentation and forum, Joe Zammit-Lucia returns this year to host another interesting forum on Fine Art Photography. Amongst the panelists will be renown artists, curators and lecturers who will express their viewpoint on where to draw the line between photography and art.
Sergio Muscat is recognised as one of the leading architecture photographers in Malta. His blazing photographic career has lead him to the MIPP Fellowship in just four years. In his "Portraits of Architecture" session, he will reveal his passion, vision and technique through which he approaches his architecture work.
David "dp" Attard is highly passionate and recognised for his music photography. His session will reveal how he approaches the difficult environment of stage photography to achieve the highest quality images.
Darrin Zammit-Lupi is recognised as one of the leading photojournalists in Malta. His work with immigrants is extensive to say the least, generating many projects including "Isle Landers" being presented during this session.
Ronnie Muscat and Lino Arrigo Azzopardi are two of Malta's most veteran photographers. Together they have been through thick and thin, they have seen the development of photography from glass plates to digital sensor, and have embraced it at every point. Their careers converge and diverge at various stages, and each has specialised in different areas. During this combined interview, Ronnie and Lino will go through their careers, recounting anecdotes and giving a picture of photography very few of us even remotely imagine.

A full programme and speaker biographies may be found in the convention booklet.

In line with the MIPP's continuing support towards its members, we are offering a €10 discount to those members who book between now and the 7th October 2011 - these members will benefit from a price of €128 (instead of €138), including lunches and the awards dinner on Sunday. A full breakdown of prices can be found in the attached flyer. Members who book on the day will not be able to benefit from this discount.
