International Print Competition (IPC) 2018 – Professional Photographers of America

Another exciting year of competition is coming to a close and I’m excited to have scored high enough with three of my images to receive merits.

I want to give you a little bit of an idea of how far an image can go when I’m creating for competition instead of for the client.

First up – this image was titled “Midnight Mystic” and received a score of 83. I started with this:

And entered this:

The next image I’d like to share is titled “Enchantress of Evil” and it received a score of 81. I started with this:

And ended up with this:

Quite a difference!

Thank you to Ali for being such a wonderful muse! We will be getting together again soon to create some more fun images!

 

The last image I entered that received a merit was titled “Always In My Heart”. This is a tribute piece created for my sister Sharon and it received a score of 81. I’ve been working on different versions of this image for over a year. This angel image is very special to me and I am so grateful to my niece Caitlin for posing for me. She had no idea what I was going to end up with!

I started with these:

And ended up with this:

 

I’m also going to share my last submission. It scored a 79 so didn’t make it into the merit category – but it was created from love. Titled “Mourning Rose” it is about the depth of loss.

I started with this:

And created this:
