Gislingham-based Pebbles portrait photographer Jeff Norman has been awarded a bronze award in the monthly international competition run by the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers.

With entries from the world's top photographers, awards were given to entries that achieved a highly commended score from a panel of international judges.

Jeff won his bronze award in the babies and children portrait category on his first attempt at the international competition.

“I've never had the inclination to enter competitions in the past, but thought it would be good to have a go and see how I measured up to some of the photographers that I most respect and am inspired by,” he said.
