A Path through Contemporary Distinctions

Richard Brayshaw FRPS is the deputy chair of the RPS Contemporary distinctions panel.
In this talk he outlines his personal photographic journey both toward and through the Distinctions.
He discusses, from his point of view, the contemporary distinction process in general.
This includes topics such as what does contemporary mean in the distinctions context, the role of the criteria in the assessment and the actual assessment process. He draws examples from his own and other distinction panels. There is also a brief detour into the 1-1 advisory sessions which the RPS now offer.
