21st September 2009
Kate has recently been awarded the Licentiateship of the Royal Photographic Society.

The Royal Photographic Society (RPS), founded in 1853, is the most prestigious international photographic society. It has long been recognised for the promotion and maintenance of high photographic standards around the world and has established itself worldwide through its programme of touring exhibitions, events and special interest groups.

The awarding of Distinctions is fundamental to the Society's promotion of standards of excellence, universally respected by amateur and professional photographers alike to whom RPS membership is open.

In order to gain a distinction, a photographer has to submit a portfolio of 10 images for approval by a highly qualified Panel of Fellows of the Society.

In May 2009, Kate was sucessful in satisfying the assessors and has received a certificate from the President of the Society enabling her to use the letters LRPS after her name.
