Well, licentiate is the first large step taken by professional photographers to show they work to a standard continuously higher than other "professionals". It is through examination, critique, development and training that we all improve in what we do in our lives.
For photographers, being part of a society that monitors levels of achievment and gives awards accordingly is our way of keeping abreast of what is good right and acceptable in this strange industry made up of the crossover of art and science. For me, it's a step up and along. There will be more.
I hope you like these first couple of images, I will post all 20 images ultimately just two at a time.
