Back in January of this year, I joined a group of like-minded photographers and we began studying for a certification qualification issued by Professional Photographers of America (PPA).
There are two parts to attaining this qualification:
1 - a rigorous theory exam, testing all facets of photography
2 - a 20-image judged by specially trained and qualified PPA judges who look at each and all of the images and mark them against a number of technical and artistic categories. Each and every image must meet these criteria in order to pass.
In June, I sat the theory exam, and passed. :-D
At the beginning of August, I submitted my 20 images for the image review process. After a tedious 5-week wait, I received my result today....I passed! :-D
I am now very proud to announce that I am a Certified Professional Photographer!
I will post, shortly, some of the 20 images I submitted for the image review. Look for them soon!
Best to all of you!
Stacey
