INTERNATIONAL PRINT JUDGE

I love giving back

I’m incredibly honoured to serve as an International Judge with the The Society of Photographers.

2026  marks my forth year in this role, and it continues to be a true privilege. Reaching this level has come through years of dedicated training and ongoing investment in my education.

A key part of my development was my time spent as a print handler while learning. That experience gave me invaluable insight into the judging process and, importantly, taught me the significance of respecting the incredible artwork presented by fellow creatives.

It instilled in me a deep appreciation for the skill, effort, and emotion behind every image—allowing me to assess work fairly, professionally, and in line with recognised industry standards.

I am passionate about giving back and supporting others on their journey  I hope to spend many more years teaching, learning from others, and continuing to grow within my judging career.

Being trusted with this role has been one of the highlights of my career so far, and I’m truly grateful for the journey and the opportunity to contribute to an industry I love.

If you’re looking for an industry-qualified judge to support your event or club, please feel free to reach out.

Thank you to @BarnettPhotoStudio for the images

Perfect wedding photographers

What can I say? Iain and Michelle were completely perfect wedding photographers in every way. Every single person felt so comfortable and open around them. Their knowledge is unbeatable! The photos are truly spectacular and their attention to detail is second to none. They absolutely went the extra mile - we could not recommend them enough. Thank you so much for everything!

All you have to do is look at Iain's work to see how amazing he is for his craft. It works with complete passion and gets the absolute best out of what is infront of his camera. Can not recommend Iain enough. Always a pleasure to work with him.

The photos are phenomenal.

I married my best friend yesterday and we were so incredibly fortunate to have Iain and Michelle photographing it. I honestly couldn’t recommend them more, they made us feel so at ease with brilliant organisation and professionalism. The photos are phenomenal. They didn’t feel like hired photographers they felt like friends catching memories, it was perfect.

The photos are phenomenal.

Called Iain on a whim about some photography work, it was all very last minute and I can't even imagine the stress of it. Iain took it all in his stride, arrived on time and sorted everything with the event to make sure he could capture the best images possible. The event images were made available to view in good time, they were fantastic and plentiful, easy to view, sorted into groups and ordering was painless.
