Speakers' Corner - Belinda Buxton - part 2 of 1 2

by Belinda Buxton Published

How do you stay ahead of the game?
You need to have uniqueness in you and your business, something others have not done (as yet) or something different.

How do organisations such as The Societies of Photographers help?
The photographic industry is not regulated so organisations such as The Societies try to raise standards with qualifications, training, mentoring and the wonderful Convention each year. It's up to us to educate our potential clients to come to a "qualified" photographer.

Why is The Societies of Photographers Convention such a big deal for photographers?
It's everything you ever wanted under one roof! Training, education, trade show, qualifications and competitions. It is a huge social event in any photographer's calendar. Photography as a career is usually a lonely one, so being able to get together and talk with like-minded professionals is great.

Your own mentors (living or dead)?
I love the work of David Bailey and Annie Leibowitz.

If you could pick just FIVE seminars (other than your own of course!) to attend at The Societies of Photographers Convention whose workshops would you attend?
10 Essential Photoshop tips for the Portrait Photographer with Panikos Hajistilly
Judging Round Table Discussion with Terrie Jones, Llewellyn Robins, Damian McGillicuddy, Scott Johnson, Christina Lauder, Richard P Walton
So.... You want to be a Portrait Artist? with Trevor Yerbury, Faye Yerbury
Pastel Child Portraiture with Magdalena Sienicka
Going Mirrorless - A Success Story with Ross Grieve

Your plans for the next five years?
Live well and healthy along with my family, continue to enjoy what I do, make some money and possibly go for my Fellowship!
