Achieving the LWPF requires the applicant to submit a selection of 8 images for assessment, whilst the MWPF requires the applicant to submit a selection of 20 images for assessment. In both cases the images will be assessed on their own individual merit by three highly regarded, experienced photographers. (More details can be found in the Distinction Handbooks – see below).
The WPF will now be one of the few Federations within the PAGB to offer these highly sought-after distinction along with it successful AWPF Distinction. Successful candidates earn the lifelong privilege of using the letters LWPF or MWPF after their name. These new distinction along the AWPF will provide photographers with a clear pathway to excellence and will a visible testament to their photographic proficiency from club level photographer to international standard photographer.
