In 1997 Kevin O'Connor conceived and founded the London Photographic Awards. For four years this annual photography competition culminated in traveling exhibitions in the UK, Europe and the USA. A coffee table catalogue was published to support each photography exhibition, three of which won prizes in the New York Festivals.
Recognizing the uptake of digital technology and the way it was radically altering the way in which professional photographers and fine art photographers were commissioned, produced, and marketed the London Photographic Association (LPA) was formed in 2001.
