Learning to Compete and Competing to LearnI am really looking forward to being a part of the October meeting of the Camera Club of Oak Ridge!
Learning to Compete and Competing to Learn or Are Photographic Competitions Worthwhile or Worthless? Upcoming Presentation at: Camera Club of Oak Ridge, October 14th, at 7:30 pm
Genna Sellers is a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) who has been honored with numerous awards including TN Professional Photographer of the Year, Top 10 Photographer of the Year, and many best of show and judges choice awards. Her images have been included in the International Photographic Competition’s (IPC) prestigious Loan Collection multiple times. She has also attended PPA’s Judges Workshop which has given her insight into what the judges are really looking for. During the evening we will wind through the maze of competitions, focusing on those that utilize trained judges who anonymously and objectively evaluate your images. Competitions can offer you a great opportunity for growth by stretching your abilities and your imagination. Genna will share some of her competition critiques and follow the evolution of an image from submission to a local salon, to being included in the International Photographic Competition’s Loan Collection.

International Photographic Competition
Getting back to work after having a great time at the TNPPA (TN Professional Photographers Association) convention in Chattanooga. All of the speakers were amazing! One of the things I like best about photography is that is is always changing and there is always something to learn.
The IPC (International Photographic Competition) was being judged at the same time in Atlanta. I am honored to have one of my entries included in the General Collection and this bride included in the prestigious Loan Collection which will travel the world and be exhibited at Imaging USA in Atlanta, Feb 2015. Fabulous Friday!!!While I am not a morning person by nature, waking up before 6am can make me a little queasy, I really enjoy watching the sunrise. It is even better when I am involved in an activity that I truly love. So when the best light for photographing an exterior occurs only as the sun is rising; I will definitely be there loving every minute.
