Sharon Achieves Major International Award (MFIAP)


The Master of Photography award from the International Federation of Photographic Art (FIAP) is widely regarded as the ultimate photography award for amateur photographers. Sharon was one of only five people in the world to have achieved this accolade this year. The FIAP website describes MFIAP as follows: “This is the highest award for photographic merit that FIAP grants and requires photography of the very highest standard and equates to a ‘doctorate’ in educational terms”. Sharon was awarded her Masters on the basis of a portfolio of 20 images on the theme of Welsh Mythology. She was also required to submit a C.V., and an introductory text explaining her Portfolio. Two of her images are attached here.
