Testimonials
Moving from the SWPP to the NPS was the best thing I did for my business in 2011.
I've found the support, advice and Licentiate process much more user friendly, and with over a Terabyte of my photos backed up online with the NPS, you can't argue the value for money!
Thanks NPS!!

Just wanted to thank you for your help in moving my website to your server and in doing so, saving me over £400! Not knowing anything much about the technical side, and my hosting company baffling me with web talk, I felt stuck with this company and the fees. However, remembering reading something about free web hosting when I joined the NPS, I called Rod and within a few days, had my website moved to the NPS server and now pay nothing for hosting.
The NPS dealt with my previous supplier on my behalf, moved my website to their server without any downtime, all at no cost to me.
Excellent service and well worth the membership fee. I will be highly recommending the NPS to other professional photographers.
Best wishes

As a long standing member of other photographic organisations it was refreshing to find The NPS which has a different approach and has many benefits for members that are not available elsewhere. I believe that as the organisation grows it will become a very strong voice for both professionals and amateurs alike offering help, advice and financial savings for all it's members.

TERRY HEWLETT
Terry trained as a commercial photographer at Reading College of Art, where he won a National Royal Society of Arts Design Bursary award. Upon completion of his training he ran a commercial photographic unit in Northern Ireland but shortly after returned to the UK where he gravitated out of photography, running his own business as a project manager. This interlude provided him with the skills and experience he needed in later life when setting up as a wedding and event photographer. His photographic experience ranges from successful landscapes to shooting at professional golf tournaments, having photographed people such as Nick Faldo, Colin Montgomery, Ballesteros and many more. He does portraits, glamour, commercial, event photography as well as running successful photography workshops.
