On Thursday 5th February Smethwick Photographic Society’s very own Peter Gennard will be entertaining and informing members and guests with another in a series of presentations covering a range of portraits, composites and many other types of images and techniques he uses to get them just right. Peter’s presentation is entitled:-
‘PG Tips: Another Fresh Brew’
Peter R. Gennard, MFIAP, EFIAP/d3 began his interest in photography as a teenager, but a visit to Smethwick International Exhibition in 1983 marked a turning point.
He joined the prestigious Smethwick P.S. and began to enter FIAP approved International Exhibitions.
Peter achieved AFIAP in 1987 and EFIAP in 1991.
The pinnacle of his photographic career was gaining the highest FIAP distinction, MFIAP in 1993.
He continued to build on his EFIAP distinction by achieving the EFIAP/bronze in 1995 and the EFIAP/silver in 1996. The EFIAP/gold distinction was obtained in 1997 and eventually the EFIAP/platinum in 2000. In 2022 he gained his EFIAP Diamond 2 award and then in 2023 his EFIAP Diamond 3, so his distinctions are MFIAP, EFIAP/d3
Peter is a prolific international exhibitor, to FIAP approved internationals. To date, Peter has had 1419 different pieces of work accepted in prints and projected images. They have gained 4209 acceptances in 52 different countries. From those acceptances he has gained 605 awards.
