5 International awards for Devon PR photographer Guy Harrop

Devon PR photographer Guy Harrop is celebrating after winning 5 photographic awards in the International Loup Awards 2012.  Guy’s images which were all shot in the South West won 5 bronzes in the People and Portrait, Illustrative and Photojournalism categories.

The competition is an annual competition which attracts international photographers from across the world. “ I have been extremely lucky this year with international photography awards and this latest competition takes my results to 6 so far this year. I think entering and actually winning keeps you quite grounded, and to be recognised on an international level for my work is so rewarding as a professional photographer. The fact that all the images I entered this year were shot in the Westcountry is great as this just shows that you don’t have to travel to exotic locations to win in International photographic competitions.”

Guy, who specializes in corporate PR, portraiture and reportage, regularly has his work published in newspapers and magazines across the world. “ 2013 should be a great year as I will be launching a wedding photography arm to the business after being inundated with requests from clients and brides-to-be across the Westcountry”, said Guy.
