Born into photography, Phil’s father ran a successful GP studio in North Wales for over 40 years.
Phil studied photography on the Wirral and after working for a while in the photographic retail sector, joined in the family business in 1984. Upon his father’s retirement Phil ran his own studio specializing in social photography for 12 years.
During the 1990’s Phil was a Regional Chairman of the Master Photographers Association and served on numerous committee’s.
In August 1999 Phil took over the running of the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers upon the retirement of Derek Avery FSWPP, and in January 2000 Phil took over the running of the British Professional Photographers Assoc.
The SWPP 2008 Convention was an outstanding success,
we have 242 days to get ready for the 2009 convention - which starts on January 14, 2009
Photo Quote: It seems so utterly naive that landscape - not that of the pictorial school - is not considered of "social significance" when it has a far more important bearing on the human race of a given locale than excrescences called cities. - Edward Weston, Daybooks
