I’m happy to share that today I received the **Qualified European Photographer (QEP)** qualification from [Federation of European Professional Photographers](https://www.europeanphotographers.eu/2023/06/10/qepjune2023results/) in the category Landscape!

To reach this level, a photographer must have excellent technical and artistic skills, the panel must have, besides technical talent a certain wow-factor that sets them apart from others. For a QEP application a panel of 12 printed and mounted images is required, all representing the candidates’ chosen field of specialization. Below you can see the images I submitted to get qualified.

The Qualified European Photographer (QEP) qualification aims to recognise and reward excellence in European Professional Photographers. It is designed to complement national awards systems and has over the years created a Europe-wide network of over 500 certified experts who share a passion and talent for professional photography.

I’m proud to receive this recognition. It’s hard to imagine that what started as a dream almost ten years ago became reality. I am eternally grateful for all the recognition I have received in recent years for my work as a nature photographer.
