Want to improve your art by leaps and bounds? It is time to jump into PPA Certification and Print Competition! Learn how these two opportunities will help you grow as an artist. We will start the class by taking an in-depth look at the PPA Certified Professional Photographer program. I have been a CPP since 2010, a state CPP Liaison also since 2010, and a CPP judge. I strive to tell every professional I know how this first step will make them a better photographer and improve their work. The second part of the program will delve into the PPA print competitions available to photographers. We will learn the 12 elements of a merit image, what PPA print merits mean (including how to earn a Masters of Photography degree from PPA), and learn about the various levels of print competitions, from local guilds, state PPA Affiliates, District Competition and International Print Competition! After that we will delve into portfolios to start to learn to speak in certification and competition terms! Don't be afraid and jump in, it is all designed to help you grow your art!
