Today I start working on the images for my new portfolio for submission to the BIPP
for hopefully upgrading my membership status to Associate.
According to the BIPP, Associate is defined as
“Associateship (ABIPP)
A high standard of craftsmanship and creative ability”
A high standard of craftsmanship and creative ability”
“My current level is licentiateship - (LBIPP)
Entry level qualification, showing an established professional level of skill and competence”
Entry level qualification, showing an established professional level of skill and competence”
I achieved this in 2014. You can view the BIPP website at
I am a believer in professional qualifications. My MCIOB
(Member of the Chartered Institute of Building) has served me well over the
many years since I achieved this key professional status.
Licentiateship gave me the confidence that I was at a
professional standard, and Associate is my aim, after two years of hard but
enjoyable work.
So I need to get my portfolio polished, finished and issued.
So forgive me but I will write pretty much about the set of 30 images I am
going to produce until I am done. As I wrote about in an earlier post,
I am
concentrating on the following areas
Architectural photography
Commercial photography
Industrial photography.
I will have a set of images, and a new set of hope page
images, by the end of April 2016. When I say architectural photography I mean photographing buildings, from before they are built to well after they have been built. Any time in the life of a building. I have just done a pre-construciton photography shoot, as well as some virtually completed new houses.
Back to the meaning of architectural photography.
I went to Wikipedia for a definition of architectural photography,
and found the following
“Architectural photography is the photographing of
buildings and similar structures that are both aesthetically pleasing and
accurate representations of their subjects. Architectural photographers are usually
skilled in the use of specialized techniques and equipment.”
Then I thought – what about commercial photography?
Commercial photography is probably best defined as any
photography for which the photographer is paid for images rather than works of
art. In this light, money could be paid for the subject of the photograph
or the photograph itself. Wholesale, retail, and professional uses of
photography would fall under this definition
Finally, I tried industrial photography
“The page "Industrial photography"
does not exist.”
Oh! Nothing...
Not to worry. I might even start up my own page on
Wikipedia. That would be interesting!
Just for fun I checked myself, and guess what…
The page "Rick mcevoy" does not exist
Of course it doesnt. I really might start my own pages. I could be an internet
success.
Back to reality. I am going to work on the set of 30 images
for submission to the BIPP, starting right now. Please pop back to my blog
tomorrow to see if I have produced anything yet!! My full blog can be found at www.rickmcevoyphotography.co.uk/blog
