World Photographic Cup Finalist

Frances Litman — Thu, 23 Mar 2017 17:11:51 +0000

I was delighted to learn this image I took at Royal Roads on a client’s very wet wedding day was chosen to represent Canada at the World Photographic Cup competition held recently in Japan.

The World Photographic Cup was founded in 2013 as a cooperative effort by The Federation of European Photographers (FEP) and Professional Photographers of America (PPA). Its singular goal is to unite photographers internationally in a spirit of friendship and cooperation.

A Governing Committee from seven different countries conducts the ongoing affairs of the competition which is a multi-level process which begins with each country choosing 18 images (three in six different categories) to represent the country.

January got off to a fast start with the SWPP/The Societies International 2011 Photography Convention in London, England where I had the good fortune to not only judge their 16×20 print competition with some of the most illustrious names in the photography industry but present two Masterclasses which were well-received by a lovely audience of beginner to intermediate photographers.

Above, photographer to superstars and royalty is John Swannell, who shared highlights of his illustrious career with a large audience and graciously allowed me to enjoy a private conversation with him and the Canadian/US contingency of judges and speakers at the awards evening gala. I loved seeing how well-marked my class was with my very own sign courtesy of the host hotel the Novotel.

Press And News Photographer Of The Year 2010

Frances Litman — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 12:11:37 +0000

“Winner: Frances Litman

A powerful and strong storytelling image, which makes a bold statement. The image also brought a tear to one of the judge’s eye. The use of subtle colours on the medals has given extra interest without detracting from the primary focal point.”

Colin Jones Societies Company Director with Frances Litman

Grateful For This Letter

Having judged at a number of photography conventions both in Canada, the US and abroad, I get to meet some of the most enthusiastic photographers and wonderful people in the industry. It’s always so rewarding to be on a judging panel where the judges are invited and often expected to make educational comments about why they scored a photograph a particular way and have an attendee in the audience feel like it was a valuable learning lesson despite having to possibly face a disappointing score. I often hear people say how much they enjoyed the process but it’s such a treat to receive thank you cards or emails affirming the experience was a good one even if they didn’t enter the competition or did but didn’t score the way they hoped or perhaps did better than expected. It’s all good in any case!
