I'm so proud of him!
We have just got the news we've been hoping for - HR have backtracked and told P his unpaid leave is at the discretion of his manager. And his manager, he say "YES"!!! So it's all go.
Some time ago P applied for a photographic commission for the Duke and Duchess of Westminster.
It was a vague advert so we didn't know what he was in for! Applicants were narrowed down to a shortlist of 5, three of whom were professional photographers. They all had a day at Eaton Hall for interviews and to take photographs and have their portfolios viewed.
A few days later we heard that P had been selected to take photos of lanscape and archictecture in the four rural estates belonging to the family. Another photographer was to concentrate on flora and fauna. He is to show the estates through the course of a year. There are two in England, one in Scotland and one in Spain. There is a talk of an exhibition at the end of the project and he has already been asked to take photos for a brochure on Eaton hall Open days on Sunday, weather permitting as an additional commission.
It's a great opportunity to possibly developing a photographic career and I'm so thrilled for him!!
