BPP: International Photographic Qualifications

November 2, 2012 Book, Events 2 comments

I just spent two days in Germany at the Internation Photograhic Qualifications organized by the German photographers organization named BPP ( bund professioneller portraitfotografen ).

As the BPP websites says: “Based on the evaluation criteria of leading international photographers organizations (such as BIPP, DIPP or FEP), each bpp member can enhance the quality of his photography by presenting examples of his photographic work to an international jury of experts for evaluation.”

The president of the Jury was the dutch photographer  Henk van Kooten.

The jury was composed by the Irish portrait photographer Padraic Deasy, the German wedding photographer Yvonne Zemke and me as the Creative Photography expert.

In this occasion the President of BPP, Mr.Michael Belz, made me a great present, the book they prepared for the 2012 edition of PhotoKina with the last series of images selected during the past 5 edition of IPQs.

I’d love to thanks Nadine, Wolfang and all the other great people in BPP.

Carla Magrelli printing Clownville

Here we have my producer Carla Magrelli working together with Daniele (hidden behind the printer) on my prints for the event hold by the Roman School of Photography.

They have been carefully printing my pics on a shiny Epson 4880.

I really love to see Carla with only one glove :)  At the end of the day we deserved one of the most delicious chocolate plum cake I had in my life.

In the last picture, Carla is holding her own Clownville picture. She was one of the first subjects to pose for the project.

If you want to attend the event here we have the coordinates:
