Certified Professional Photographer

One of my goals for 2010 was to become a Certified Professional Photographer, CPP. Less than 5% of the photographers in the world are certified with fewer than 50 certified in Ohio. The certification process is two part the first being image review, the second a written exam. Last month I submitted the 20 required images for the image review. The review is based on showing that the photographer understands the technical aspects of photography through proper lighting techniques, posing and composition.

I am excited to announce that  I received my letter of congratulations that I passed the image review!

I will be taking the written exam in September.

Here are my 20 images I submitted for the image review. Enjoy. :)
