Sharon is New UK GPU Representative
We have received this from Sharon Prenton Jones who has become the GPU representative for the UK.
I want to introduce myself as I am the new GPU (Global Photographic Union) Representative for the UK.
In this role I am particularly interested in encouraging fellow photographers to obtain distinctions. GPU operates its own photographic distinctions scheme. There is something for everyone whether you enter international salons or not.
Photographers collect points from acceptances, mentions and awards in international exhibitions (CROWN and VIP distinctions) or by submitting their own portfolio and gaining titles (Aphrodite, Hermes, Zeus and the recently added highest title of Grand Master).
We (Rob and I) joined GPU just over three years ago and have been impressed by the friendly and supporting Group – it feels like a world-wide camera club. We joined the Photo Festival last year in Krakow it was such good value for money and a great way to meet everyone.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if I can be of any assistance with anything
GPU related. My email is: prentonjonesphotography@gmail.com
Best wishes and Happy New Year – Sharon.
