Focus-on Convention Speaker - Sofie Louca 2010 Convention speaker Sofie Louca takes top award at the Annabel Williams Photographer of the Year awards. "When I was informed a few weeks ago that I was a category winner and a runner up in another category it was totally unexpected - but when I heard my name called out a third time by Annabel at the Awards’ Ceremony it was quite a mix of emotions. Winning an award like this is very energizing and makes you feel that the countless hours spent behind a camera and in front of the computer were all worthwhile! It's a great motivation and inspires you to achieve more and enhance and improve the skills you already have." - Sofie Louca Sofie has 2 programmes at the 2010 Convention: Trash It & ‘Shop It (Superclass) - with John Baikie Talking 'Shop (Masterclass) - with Paul Karaolides Please see Sofie's speakers page for more information: http://swpp.co.uk/convention/speakers/sofie-paul.htm For more information on Annabel Williams please see: http://www.annabelwilliams.com/	In Camera Artistry (Superclass) - by Jerry Ghionis Jerry will conduct an intimate and hands on workshop for 15 lucky students as he demonstrates how he brings out the best in his subjects and locations.
