Derek Payne
Longer serving members of the Region may not already be aware that Derek Payne's funeral service will be at All Hallows Church, Bardsey at 2.00pm on Monday June 13th.
Together with Lawrence Hill, Derek took over the long established company of Warren Jepson in Regent Terrace, Hyde Park, servicing the photographic trade with processing and hand colouring before the days of colour processing.
Following the move into Burley Road and becoming Warrens, the company expanded it's operations into the 21st century techniques before leading up to their retirement. Derek was a past Chairman and Treasurer of the Yorkshire BIPP Region.
Annual Print Competition 2011
The Annual Print Competition attracted just under 200 entries and an appreciative audience at The Owl on April 20th to hear judges Denise Swanson and Russell Baston critique all entries and see the winner's trophies and merit certificates awarded.
Richard Mayfield scooped the overall title of Yorkshire Region Commercial Photographer of the Year 2011 with his winning Fashion image, after winning both the Fashion and Illustrative categories.
Steve Ramsden won the overall title of Yorkshire Region Social Photographer of the Year with his winning image in the Traditional Wedding category.
It was good to see a healthy entry in the student category and well done to Dan Gibson who was the winner of the Student title and a £100 voucher kindly donated by our sponsor The Flash Centre.
Congratulations to all of those who received an award. We hope that you all got something out of the evening and if you have any comments on the revised format for the competition, why not look up the BIPP Yorkshire Region Facebook page and give some feedback?

A thought provoking evening with Paul White
An excellent presentation by Paul White FBIPP showed many fine examples of his architectural photography in locations across the UK coupled with many hints and advice on how to get the best out of the subject.
The main thrust of his talk was the demands on the photographer in the present climate of the ever changing scene, technology, and expectations of clients if they are to survive.
