What Some Say

Gatwick-based Lee Crawley:

“I signed up for phototraining4U.com at the official Focus launch.

This year the categories have been restructured to give entrants a broader range of options. Assistants can now submit Single and Series entries in the Body, Environment and Object categories, and six to eight images in Project. This new format of categories is designed largely to mirror the re-formatted non-commissioned section of the Photographers Awards, as we feel that there should be continuity between the two competitions.

Entry is available to fully paid-up Assistant Members of the Association of Photographers.

Entrants should submit their work online via the AOP website. The deadline is 6pm on Monday 9 August 2010 but if entrants submit their work before 6pm on Monday July 12th they can benefit from our Early Bird Discount which gives over 15% off the standard entry fees.

We expect to receive approximately 800 images, which will be judged by a panel of top industry professionals. The final selection of images will be exhibited at the AOP Gallery from 16th to 25th November.

The gala presentation evening and private view will be held at the AOP Gallery on 17th November and awards will be presented to the seven Best in Category winners plus Merits and, of course, the Overall Winner.

The top 10 winning Apps were selected from among the most frequently used Apps in more than 17,000 images submitted into Adorama’s first annual iPhone Photography Contest. The winning Apps, available on the App Store at iTunes, are:

* Photoshop.com Mobile
* CameraBag
* Best Camera
* Photogene
* TiltShift Generator – Fake Miniature
* ShakeItPhoto
* Hipstamatic
* PhotoForge
* Lo-Mob
* Photo fx.

“Adorama’s first ever APPOS Photo App Awards not only honor software applications and their talented developers, it highlights the endless creative possibilities of using an iPhone as a point-and-shoot camera,” said Ahron Schachter, Adorama spokesperson. “The way users have embraced photo Apps to apply creative enhancements to their photography underscores the widespread acceptance of the mobile imaging platform as a worthwhile photographic tool for sharing images.”

With more than 2,000 photography-related Apps in the Apple iTunes App Store for photography, iPhone owners are using this software on their phones to expand and creatively explore photography in ways not even imaginable on a standard point-and-shoot camera, no less a cellphone camera. These Apps (software programs that load on an iPhone or iPod Touch) are turning the iPhone into a very powerful photographic tool for capturing, editing and manipulating all types of photographic images and graphics right on the iPhone or iPod Touch (no computer needed).

Adorama plans on future mobile imaging contests that will include and highlight the rise in creative photo opportunities with all mobile devices including Android, Windows Phone and more.

Do you want to change your photography and your life forever?
Well this is it, your chance to become the next Mark Cleghorn Apprentice on PhotoTraining4U and this time its all about weddings.

All you need to do to enter is be a member of PhotoTraining4U.com from now until the 25th July 2010, submit 6 images as well as the reason why you want to be the Next PT4U Apprentice, it could not be any simpler, so whether you are a Pro-Photographer or have never shot a wedding before this is your chance to change your life and photography for ever.

The PT4U Wedding Apprentice year consists of training 1 day per month for a whole year 2-ON-1 with Mark and the team in Cardiff. As the Apprentice you will also get to assist and shoot with Mark on real life weddings, plus business building and marketing advice, features in magazines plus £1000 to spend on Bellisimo Wedding albums and marketing material from Loxley Colour as well as over £1500 worth of equipment from the PT4U Sponsors Lastolite reflectors and lighting, OnOne Software Plugins for Photoshop, The RayFlash – Ring Flash, Honl Speedlite Accessories, Animoto and PhotoKit4U.

What Happens Then?
From all the members who apply the PT4U team will narrow down to the top twelve, Mark will then select his top 5 applicants, who will be informed by the 18th July 2010 Finally the members present on the WFW special event in Cardiff on July 25th will then vote on who they want to watch for the next twelve months on PhotoTraining4U as the Apprentice.
