Awards and Accreditation!
When you have a passion for something, I think it is only natural that one gets to a stage where they are constantly striving to improve themselves. There's a vision in my head of the work that I want to produce. Some days I do not feel like I'm making forward progress and other days I feel like I'm making huge strides. Irregardless of the perceived back and forth progress, I know I'm taking action and continually moving forward.
Speaking to the constant improving of oneself, I have been working on my path to becoming an associate level photographer through The Portrait Masters Awards and Accreditation program. This recent round of submissions there were over 6,500 images submitted worldwide, judged by a panel of 9 award winning photographers. I submitted the following images and each received a bronze merit, signifying work that is of a professional level.
I'm very proud of the achievement and it all helps me get one step closer to becoming an associate photographer. As well, very appreciative of the wonderful clients who also help make this journey a possibility! I'm looking forward to the next round of submissions come August and excited for the new work that will be submitted. Hopefully even have one or more of them that merit gold or silver!
