Photography tutor Neil Turner is BPPA Vice-Chairman
Up To Speed’s photography tutor Neil Turner has been helping to stand up for press photographers at the Leveson Inquiry.
Neil is Vice-Chairman of the British Press Photographers’ Association, which has submitted written evidence to the hearing into ethical and professional standards in the press.
The association has asked to be given “core participant” status at the inquiry, which would allow a lawyer to present evidence on behalf of its members.
The BPPA feels reputable press photographers have been unfairly described as paparazzi by some witnesses.
Neil was interviewed by The Guardian last week. He teaches on the NCTJ-accredited photojournalism course at Up To Speed.
