Welcome to the BIPP Yorkshire Region

The BIPP, unlike some other photography associations which are privately run businesses, is owned and run by it’s members for the benefit of the members. It exists to raise professional standards in the interest of both it’s membership and their clients through qualifications and code of conduct.

With the help of mentoring and access to heavily subsidised training in all disciplines of photography you will be schooled toward qualification of the BIPP to gain accreditation for your business. BIPP qualifications, unlike those of other photographic associations, are the long established industry benchmark and respected the world over.

The energies of the Yorkshire regional committee underwrites the value of your membership by organising regular meetings, presenting high profile guest speakers who openly share their knowledge and expertise in all aspects of their business from capture technique to image processing and marketing.  The meetings are held at The Owl Hotel, Hambleton. Any surplus generated from the modest meeting admission fee and events is reinvested to benefit membership.

As well as being a business and social networking opportunity members can also enjoy discounts from suppliers of equipment, insurance, services and materials. 

You are assured of a warm welcome at The Owl when members of the committee wearing their name badges will be delighted to introduce you to members with similar interests. To be informed up to the minute of regional activities be sure to give you email address to the Secretary.

After eight years at ITV she set up Helen Turton Photography, which allowed her to expand her television work and also explore her passion for portraiture and lifestyle.
