PHILOMENA
HUGHES
PHOTOGRAPHY

I love Prince George having been born and raised here, its where I  have lived most of my life. I studied photography at Western Pacific Academy of Photography in Victoria. I got to apprentice with a Canadian photojournalist (Ted Grant) and with a portrait studio . Eventually, I went on to open Philomena Hughes Photography in Prince George in 1990.

I have been a member of the Professional of Photographers of Canada (PPOC) since 1996. I earned my Craftsman of Photographic Arts (2004), my Masters of Photographic Arts (2007) and in 2009 & 2011 & 2022 received  MPA Bars for Service and  in 2017 A Citation of Service from our Provincial Branch of PPOC. I have always competed in print competitions and  have won some awards and earned accreditation through the PPOC. I am also qualified as a National Judge for photographic competitions and have been published internationally in the prestigious  medical journal “The Lancet” out of Oxford England.

I have always love teaching and  was a past photography instructor with the Continuing Education program at the University of Northern British Columbia. I stepped away from the university and only do private one on one instructing and portfolio reviews.
