My Associate Distinction (ARPS)
A Video Slideshow of the ARPS Panel Photographs

RPS Photographic Distinctions - ARPS
An ARPS submission takes the photography to the next level above that of the LRPS, firstly the photographer must decide which genre of photography the panel is going to base upon, I chose "Travel" because is a subject I enjoy. Secondly, the photographer must create a "Statement of Intent" which is a set of words that lays out what the photographer intends to produce in terms of a panel of photography, it's like a "Terms of Reference" for the photographic task at hand. Whereas the LRPS can be a variety of subject matter, the ARPS can only be photography based on the particular genre chosen and the panel of fiveteen perfect photographs must reflect the objective set out in the statement of intent.
The photography must have input and originality from the photographer, the photographers style must be consistent, with a high understanding
of composition, lighting and viewpoint, high technical skills are a must.
