Derek Pye Scoops Top Photo Award
Derek Pye has for the 42nd year running scooped the top prize at the 2010 Award Winning Husband and Wife Top Wedding Photographer awards ceremony. The awards which have run for 42 years, only awards awards to the top award winning wedding photographer and gives the photographer the right to call himself an award winning wedding photographer.
Derek’s picture, entitled “Confetti Piss version 42” was praised by the judges for “ bleak, uncompromising beauty. Simplicity of composition and mastery of the moment”. Speaking after the ceremony Mr Pye said “ I got lucky, the bride was late and I was busting for a piss. You have to be alive to these opportunities, lesser photographers would have found a toilet ”

Scream Davidson's Foto-Biz Blitz
Join success magnet, business boundary pusher and imageer Scream Davidson for a series of high-octane 'ThinkShops'. Fresh from his sell-out tour of the US, Scream's first UK foray is designed to turbo-boost the most flaccid of photographic enterprises.
If you want to make 2011 a success for you and your lacklustre business, then let Scream rocket you full of inspiration - transform your limp efforts into a pounding mass of business thrust muscle.
Scream shares the stage with an uber-collection of barely credible industry speakers, including
- a raft of professional photographers that were in IT last year
- hot-air merchants with a minimal grasp of business fundamentals, and great anecdotes
- a suit with great hair who came fifteenth on The Apprentice three years ago
Scream then facilitates over everyone, during his renowned morale-exploding Foto-Biz Blitz Breakout sessions. Delegates are grouped into puddles of disappointment, each one chaired by a self-proclaimed industry specialist or someone with bad teeth and terrible skin from the SPWW. Scream guides the Blitz Breakout Session from his hover-lectern, backed up with pulsing hardcore techno beats and projected v***o clips of him being fantastic, whilst delegates try stealing ideas and sample albums from each other.
You are guaranteed to leave feeling energised and buzzing, with a head full of nebulous ideas that you will never action. Every delegate will receive Scream Davidson's exclusive Foto-Biz Blitz Sack, laden with marketing for training workshops, dandruff, vacuous photographic books about nothing and bitterness that Scream is making a better living than you.
