A Message from the CEO

“As I step in to look after the magazine this issue, I’ve been reminded just how much of what we do is rooted in one essential value: community.”
This latest edition of Professional Imagemaker is more than just a collection of articles — it’s a celebration of what makes The Society of Photographers so unique.
When we put a call out for content, the response from our members was instant and heartwarming. The result? A magazine shaped by collaboration, generosity, and the true spirit of our photographic community.
Over the past few months, whether at our Roadshows, Judging School, or Qualifications Days, we’ve seen first-hand the power of connection. Photographers aren’t just coming to learn or to compete — they’re coming to support each other. They’re building friendships, sharing ideas, and pushing the boundaries of their craft, together.
At The Society of Photographers, we’re proud to offer more than just resources — we offer a network that lifts each other up. From our mentoring programme to our Monthly Image Competitions, webinars, forums, and exclusive events, there’s always an opportunity to grow and to connect.
This issue is a testament to what we can achieve as a community.
If you’re not yet involved, now’s the perfect time to get started.
There’s a place for everyone here — and the door is always open.
“Here’s to the people behind the lens — and to the community that brings us all into focus.”
Colin Jones – The Society of Photographers
