Bruce Girdwood – Going for your PSNZ Honours
June 26 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Bruce Girdwood – Going for your PSNZ Honours
The Photographic Society of New Zealand (PSNZ) has a system of honours, with three levels of distinctions – Licentiate, Associateship and Fellowship. Each level requires the photographer to demonstrate an increasing level of photographic competence and artistry.
In this session, Bruce will give us an introduction to the PSNZ honours system – what it is, the benefits of going for an honour, what you have to do to submit, and what is expected for a successful set.
During his presentation, Bruce will talk about some recent successful honours sets. He would also like to give feedback on some recent unsuccessful sets, with coaching to help a future application. If you would be interested in having your unsuccessful set discussed, please e-mail comms@wps.org.nz to let us know.
