Image competition can either be fun and exhilarating or confusing and terrifying — It’s all about how you approach it. This program is all about helping you find your approach and purpose when competing in image competitions.
Join our 3 panelists:
- Troy Miller: Your host and a 30 year full-time wedding professional, educator and PPA Master Photographer
- Michael Ryno: Landscape photographer and current president of PPC (Professional Photographers of Colorado)
- Peter Levshin: Professional fine art and travel photographer and PPA Master Photographer
We’ll also discuss what going through the process of earning a Masters looks (the good and the bad) and what challenges someone like Michael Ryno faced pursuing his Masters.
Please submit your questions to troy@ieppv.com ahead of time to make sure they get answered.
As this will be an interactive webinar, if you would like to interact with the group, please make sure to have your cameras and audio ready to go.
