I am celebrating a lot today and I really wanted to share my excitement with you guys.
First celebration, 10 years ago today I made a decision to persuade photography as a career. I had to make my passion on creating art through photographs more than a hobby.
Second, this year was my 4th year entering International Photographic Competition. I love how much I learn each year by entering and watching IPC. The judges comments and critiques alone on each image it’s worth entering and watching. Anyway, Some of you will understand how big of a deal it is what I’m about to share…
Drum rolls
I’m a diamond and Platinum medalist!! Omg a diamond photographer AAAHHH!!!
For those who is wondering International Print Competition is the Olympics for photographers, and diamond platinum is the highest medal achievement you can get.
I am thrilled and still in shock with my 2021 results. Which also makes me qualify for the Master Artist Degree through Professional Photographers of America.
My Portrait Open Case - 4 out of 4 recieved a merit and 3 out of those for received an Imaging Excellence.
My Artist Case - 4 out of 4 received merits and all 4 earned Imaging Excellence image.
Ahhhhh still can't believe it! Huge thanks to all of my support system, I couldn’t have done it without you guys!
I can’t share the images yet as the competition still going on and it’s best to wait since judges still need to judge for the Grand image Award finalists.
Congratulations to all my fellow artists who received merits or/and medaled today. Any merit is a big achievement!
If you did not merit I still need to congratulate you for taking the step of entering to learn and elevate your art. Those who enter is a winner rather they merited or not!
PS- Picture is last year’s best Artist Image.
