The evening commenced with a buffet supper, then over to the serious business of handing out some 412 certificates and 43 trophies representing the successes and high standards reached this year.

This makes him the third HPS photographer to achieve this acclaim. This is a major achievement for Chris, as the selection process is brutal: in two stages, a panel of distinguished judges fromacross the art world has to agree to select your work to be among the final 1200. Those are whittled down from more than 15,000 entries sourced from all around the world. It’s this ultra-tough competition that makes acceptance so impressive. Success for Hampstead PSmember
