Aberdeenshire Photographer Earns Accreditation from Prestigious Photography Organisation / by Leticia Gaidon Bradford

The International Portrait Masters Awards and Accreditation has named Leticia Gaidon Bradford Photography an Associate accreditation

November 15, 2022 -- The Portrait Masters Awards and Accreditation today announced the winners of its autumn 2022 portrait photography competition honouring top talent in the portrait photography industry. I’m delighted to share that the organisation awarded me an Associate accreditation. 

I earned my Associate accreditation over the course of two years, by submitting a diverse portfolio of over fifty portrait pictures for evaluation and critique by a jury of world recognised photographers.  This accreditation is a significant recognition of my creative and technical abilities.  

This is the first time that a Scottish portrait photographer has been awarded this accreditation. 

The Associate level is given to professionals who demonstrate a consistent high standard of excellence in their work. I constantly strive to grow and improve as a photographer and this recognition is a great encouragement to continue in that path.   

I’m also thrilled to share the news that one of my photographs earned a Bronze Award with Distinction in the Documentary challenge category. 

Documentary photography is a style that provides a straightforward and honest representation of people, places, objects and events.

A jury of top professional photographers selected my work from over 4,300 images entered by colleagues from 40 countries. The Bronze with Distinction merit recognises photographs that demonstrate a high level of professional standard for technique and communication.

Please contact me to find out more about my work and to book a portrait session with me.

About The Portrait Masters Awards and Accreditation Jurying Process

Each round of The Portrait Masters Awards and Accreditation is juried by a team of award-wining photographers, led by Richard Wood, who is himself a recipient of numerous awards and accreditations from photography organizations including NZ IPP, WPPI and Asia Pacific Photography Awards. Jurors evaluate and award scores to each photograph on a scale of 1 to 100. Images are judged on a range of creative and technical factors. Images with an average score of 70 or higher receive Bronze, Bronze with Distinction, Silver or Gold merits. Each merit also includes accreditation points, the accumulation of which enable photographers to achieve Associate, Master and Fellow accreditation levels.
