In 2022, I joined the Australian Photographic Society (APS) and began to compete in national and international exhibitions. In 2024 I attained the honour of Fellow with the APS and was awarded the distinction Excellence FIAP (EFIAP) from the Fédération Internationale de l'Art Photographique (FIAP) in 2025. I have been involved in several collaborations with Fujifilm Australia, educating photographers on techniques to improve and get the most out of their passion. I have also been invited to judge the Graham Burstow Monochrome Prize in 2026. https://davidmerciecaphotography.com/about/awards daily 0.75 2026-05-09
