In particular we are happy to announce that are coming to the congress the fashion and fine art photographer Sarah Moon, the famous Magnum Photographer Martin Parr, and that we finalised an agreement with Paolo Roversi as the 3rd keynote speaker. It is also confirmed, amongst others, that the American Eddie Tapp (Adobe Photoshop Hall of Fame) will give an 3 hour digital seminar at the congress.
FETA award
FEP will realise an FEP Emerging Talent Awards programme aimed at offering a European wide certification system for young graduating photographers under the age of 30 years.
This is not aimed at replacing any certification or qualification offered by colleges and universities. Rather it would be a photographic equivalent of a “European Drivers Licence” that will give international options for the graduating photographer and extend his/her options for working in the EU.
President Neil Warner, and Board Member Jim Lowe and Ivana Matejková will present a more advanced project, including the practical aspects of this project and a budget to the next GA meeting.
Photokina programme
The FEP will be hosted at the stand of the German member association.
September 21st: press conference on the next European congress
September 22nd: presentation of the competition winners at the Epson stand
September 23rd: FEP General Assembly (morning) and Congress cell meeting (afternoon)
Next Board Meeting and QEP session
The winter session of the QEP qualification will be held in Brussels on November 27th and 28th. The new Board meeting will be held the day after, Monday November, 29th.
Copyright on photographs "The 10 Commandments"
The Board agreed unanimously on the proposal to publish on the web site and to recommend the Member associations to promote the so called “10 commandments” on Copyright on photographs, using the text approved by the Dutch BURAFO and already used also in Belgium.
