British Institute of Professional Photography, ‘First Merit’ award winning image from 1985

Whilst studying photography, I was given an assignment to photograph the interior of a chapel within a convent in Mossley Hill, Liverpool. For this shoot, I used a 5×4 inch monorail camera, which was simply wonderful to use given that it was completely manual and not like any other camera I had used before. I would still love a 5×4 camera of my own even today…

To my surprise, my course lecturer who was a member of ‘BIPP’, chose to enter my image into the upcoming North West region, ‘British Institute of Professional Photography’ (BIPP) awards, 10th – 13th November 1985.

I was even more astonished to hear that my photograph had been chosen to win a ‘First Merit’ award in the student category of this prestigious BIPP North West region Competition.

    Was this the convent on the corner of Greenbank Road and Streatham Avenue?

      Hi,

      No. I don’t know if the building is still a convent, but the large and very grand building was (and still is), on the corner of Elmswood Road/Rose Lane and North Mossley Hill Road. Just opposite Mossley Hill Parish Church.
