Photo competition and challenges 2017

2017 is a milestone in my career as photographer. First I was designated as "Master Photographer In Fine Art" by the MPI (Master Photographers International) a Canadian based Photography organization that helps promote professional photographers all over the world as well as educate the public about their work.

I also enter their annual Photo Challenge ( IIC International Image Challenge ) and I was very happy to have my name running for Nature Photographer of the Year along with 2 other contestants, in the end, the award was given to a very talented nature photographer Chris Collacott. Nevertheless I had some of my work recognized with their Prestige Award and Award of Distinction. Here are some of the Awards from MPI

Than late this year I took a shot at the renowned Epson International Pano Awards for the first time.

After almost two months of deliberation they announced the results in mid October and I was very pleased to see one of my photos placed in the Top 50 in Open Award – Built Environment / Architecture. here is the link: https://thepanoawards.com/awards/2017-open-built-environment-top-50/

I had 7 of my pictures awarded with the Bronze and Silver Awards and here they are.

and the the image below made the top 50 in its category.

I would like to thank all the judges that recognized the merit in my work, the MPI for promoting our work as professional photographers and for creating avenues to help educating the public about professional photographers. Thank to Epson for this huge honor and for promoting photographer with the International Pano Awards.

I would like to include the link to the MPI website so photographers all over the world can join and have an incredible Organization "behind" your work.
