As most of you know, I am a part of the Professional Photographers of America (PPA). I have been a full active member for a little over 4 years. The PPA is an awesome organization that not only helps me in continuing to learn my craft, but also is a big part of teaching me business management, laws, etiquette, marketing and more. Well, PPA has an awesome magazine, called “Professional Photographer”. This magazine cannot be bought on any store shelf. Because the PPA is a non-profit group, the magazine is distributed to it’s members only.
They have been holding annual Cover Contests and well, I never entered because of fear and lack of confidence. But, this year I decided to take the plunge and go for it. Granted, I am up against many other professionals, with years of experience & knowledge beyond me, but hey – why not try? If I get any feedback from them, it of course would help me get better and that’s what I am always striving for!
So, I had to choose one image that was representative of what I do. And BOY OH BOY! That was not easy. My specialty is children and that includes a lot of ages. So, I went back and forth, searching, thinking, wondering… and I found an image I think represents me. Most of my favorite images are in a horizontal format, which doesn’t meet requirements for a cover. So I guess I need to start taking more vertical images during sessions (note to self).
Anyway, to see the image and give me a rating, click HERE and then please come back here and tell me what you think of my entry! Just leave a comment on this post! I appreciate any feedback! By the way, you could win a Canon PowerShot G11 by voting!
FYI: ratings are for fun and do not count towards official judging
