Global Photographic Union
(GPU)
The Australian Photographic Society
(APS)
All entries shall conform to the stricter of the following definitions for acceptances to be validated by all the International Organizations granting recognition or patronage.
MONOCHROME
PSA: An image is considered to be Monochrome only if it gives the impression of having no color (i.e. contains only shades of gray which can include pure black and pure white) OR it gives the impression of being a grayscale image that has been toned in one color across the entire image. (For example by Sepia, red, gold, etc.)
A grayscale or multi-colored image modified or giving the impression of having been modified by partial toning, multi toning or by the inclusion of spot coloring does not meet the definition of monochrome and shall be classified as a Color Work.
FIAP: A black and white work fitting from the very dark grey (black) to the very clear grey (white) is a monochrome work with the various shades of grey.
A black and white work toned entirely in a single colour will remain a monochrome work able to stand in the black and white category; such a work can be reproduced in black and white in the catalogue of a salon under FIAP Patronage.
On the other hand a black and white work modified by a partial toning or by the addition of one colour becomes a colour work (polychrome) to stand in the colour category; such a work requires colour reproduction in the catalogue of a salon under FIAP Patronage.
NATURE
Nature photography is restricted to the use of the photographic process to depict all branches of natural history, except anthropology and archaeology, in such a fashion that a well-informed person will be able to identify the subject material and certify its honest presentation.
WILDLIFE

Close up pictures of people or objects must include features that provide information about the environment.
Techniques that add, relocate, replace or remove any element of the original image, except by cropping, are not permitted.

Gordon Dean started learning about Photography in 1981 when he joined the Rockhampton Camera club, before moving to Brisbane in 1986 with his wife and two young children. He was accepted to study Photography part time, obtaining an Associate Diploma in Art (Photography) in 1990 after a 4 year course. After having a spell from photography for over 10 years he returned to competition in 2006, and started competing in internationals in 2008.
His achievements have been recognised by the Australian Photographic Society by being awarded their highest award, the APS Exhibitors Medal, and EFIAP/g from FIAP.
Although he still loves to compete his passion is to help beginners become better photographers in this ever-changing world of Art.
Leanne has been passionate about photography for more than 30 years and is a multi-award winning national and international photographer and judge.
Leanne was a member of Campbelltown Camera Club in the early/mid 1990’s, a former member of St George Photographic Society, a moderator for a former photographic website, Passion for Pixels; is a member of Terra Australis Photography Group; the Australian Photographic Society (APS) and the Photographic Society of America (PSA). She has recently taken on the Honorary Secretary’s role of the newly formed Ingleburn RSL Photography Club.
She is proudly married to well–credentialed and accomplished photographer, presenter and judge, John Alessi – some of you may know. Incidentally, she is also directly related to the renowned Australian modernist photographer, the late Max Dupain.
Her chosen genre is diverse, from literal pictorial and documentary studies to a creative, evocative and contemporary style. Her approach to each style is as diverse as each subject, however, research plays an integral part in successful capture. She loves to travel and bush camp in Australia’s remote outback as often as possible to behold and capture the exquisite landscapes our wonderful country has to offer.
Leanne wishes to continue capturing those “decisive moments” which abound; and compete at national and international level, as it is most rewarding; build a photographic website; and have more images and text published once she is availed of some time.
