12-Year-Old Becomes Youngest to Earn Royal Photographic Society Distinction
12-year-old Sam Kaye of Radlett, Hertfordshire, UK has become the youngest person ever to earn a distinguished membership to the Royal Photographic Society, the world’s oldest photographic society. Kaye became a Licentiate of the RPS by submitting ten of his photographs anonymously to a panel of judges, who were shocked to learn of his age after awarding him with the distinction.
Back in 2010, Kaye also won the Royal Horticultural Society’s “Young Photographer of the Year” award. He first ventured into photography at the age of six, and hopes to become a professional photographer once he’s all grown up.
