swpp.co.uk/convention/

We don’t believe there’s ever been a speaker line-up quite like this before at any photo convention – anywhere.

At the pioneering seven-day long 2010 gathering, our broad church of professional and aspirational photographer visitors will have a truly enormous choice of seminars to be delivered by 175 top-rated experts from across the globe. (We just wanted to make quite sure we had covered every subject under the imaging sun!)

Of course it would be impossible to produce personal profiles for every single speaker given obvious Imagemaker pagination restrictions, so we’ve drawn a dozen of these key names out of the hat to give you an exclusive ‘cross-section’ profile snapshot.

We asked them all similar questions – and here’s the result.

I am based in Malta and my career in photography now spans almost 30 years. Over that time I have been fortunate enough to win a number of awards both locally and internationally. My first camera was a Canon AE1 and I was determined to make a career in photography after I saw some great pictures at a local club competition. I’ve had nine books published now and I am delighted to have been awarded Honorary Life Membership of both the Malta Photographic Society and the Malta Institute of Professional Photography (MIPP). I specialise mainly in fashion, advertising and portraiture.
