Award winning – Photographic Artist of the year 2014!!!

Professional Photographers of Canada (PPOC) holds image competition, called Image Salon every year. This year, the winners were announced in Winnipeg in May. Trophies are awarded to 4 categories including Portrait, commercial, wedding photographer and photographic artist. Winners have to achieve high quality images from all technical and artistic view point of photography for all 4 submissions.

And…..I am a winner of Photographic artist of the year. This is exiting. I received a magazine, yesterday, from PPOC、carrying  an article featuring the 4 winners. Please take a look the article. I mentioned about my attitude toward landscape and portrait photography, and how I found my styles of horse images.

I should’ve written about the award earlier, but the reason is I did not have good a selphie. I knew this magazine is coming so I waited a photo of myself taken by a professional. I like photograph people, but no way myself! However, I would like to photograph trophies made of acrylic. This is challenging. I will post how it goes. Following is the winning images.

Fine art print and Room coordination service

I sold 2 big pieces of the prints, yesterday. I got a chance to coordinate my client’s dining room from scratch. Selection of images, sizes of prints, designs of mats and frames, lighting were determined after a couple of visits for consultation. Also their panting was re-framed to match to the entire room. My clients are so happy.

Of course, I could not achieve this huge job by myself. Both prints were printed by Resolve photo in Calgary. Costas is guru of the prints. Also the prints were matted and framed by Framed on fifth in Calgary. Their accurate advises for choices of types paper, mats and frames from their huge selection are real treasures for local photographers.

My solo gallery show in the Stampede season

I will throw another solo exhibition. The show will start tomorrow. Robinson’s camera in Englewood, Calgary will launch a gallery space. I was offered to exhibit my horse photos along with some landscape photos because, of course, it is the STAMPEDE SEASON . I am honored to be the first photographer to have show at Robinsons’s camera!
