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
