Pembrokeshire based photographer Ross Grieve has been invited to speak and judge at The Societies Photography Convention in London, one of the largest and most respected photography conventions in the world.

The annual event attracts thousands of professional photographers from across the globe and is widely regarded as a benchmark for excellence within the industry.

As part of the convention, Ross will also serve as a judge for The Societies’ international photography competition, one of the most prestigious and highly regarded competitions in professional photography.

The competition celebrates technical skill, creativity and storytelling, and is judged by a carefully selected panel of leading photographers and industry experts.

Ross is a Fellow of The Societies of Photographers, a distinction awarded to photographers who demonstrate outstanding ability, consistency and contribution to the profession.

He is a regular speaker at international photography events, sharing over three decades of experience across wedding, portrait and commercial photography. His talks are known for their honesty, depth and focus on both craft and the realities of working at a professional level.

Despite his international profile, Ross remains firmly rooted in the local photographic community. In keeping with that commitment, he has also accepted an invitation to judge the Tenby Camera Club Open Competition, supporting and encouraging photographers at all stages of their journey.

Speaking about the invitations, Ross said: “It is always an honour to be asked to judge and speak at events of this calibre, but it is equally important to me to stay connected to the local clubs and communities that foster a love of photography. Both ends of the spectrum matter.”

Ross is based near Tenby and works across the UK and internationally. His work is recognised for its thoughtful, documentary approach and strong emphasis on storytelling, craftsmanship and connection.

The convention takes place from January 14 to 17.
