NEW DISTINCTION CATEGORY

The Council of the Royal Photographic Society has endorsed a proposal to create a new category of LRPS Distinction, called Photo Harmony. It has similarities with the LRPS in Audio Visual, and applications will be considered by the AV Panel. However, Photo Harmony is designed to enable applicants to demonstrate their skills in matching images with appropriate transitions and harmonising them with the sound. No script or story with a specific beginning, middle and end is required. Selection, quality and sympathetic progression of images is the prime factor being assessed, though the appropriateness of recording quality of the soundtrack will also be taken into account.

The purpose of this category is to display set of images which harmonise with each other in terms of colour or tone and graphic design, and with the sound used, rather than to display images which may be excellent when considered individually but which fail to harmonise with each other and with the sound chosen. It is the norm that sound and images should start and finish together. Where music is used, it is recommended that the orginal ending is preserved, rather than an arbitrary fade-out.

AV differs from the category by placing far greater emphasis on the balance between concept/story, script, sound recording/editing and images. Advice on draft applications may be obtained from Robert Albright, FRPS, AV Panel Chair, Robert@robertalbriqht.co.uk . The AV Panel will meet on Sun. 29 April. Applications should be made via Andy Moore 01225 325761 andv@rps.orq Guidelines are available from Andy or downloadable from wwvr.rps.org or www.avq.rps.orq
