I'm delighted to announce that following this year's International Photographic Competition, I won the 2020 Grand Imaging Awards in the Illustrative category after being awarded the Diamond Photographer of the Year in the artist category and Platinum Photographer of the Year in Photographic Open.

IPC (The International Photographic Competition) was held in Atlanta, Georgia in August of this year and Ella scored a perfect 100 for her image, "First Day of School on the Planet Luminata". In addtion, she was awarded Diamond Photographer of the year for her Artist case and Platinum Photographer of the Year for her Photographic Open case, meaning 7 out of 8 of her images received the "loan" designation or the highest designation avaiable in IPC.

In January, I was so honored to win the Professional Photographers of America Grand Imaging Award! This is the top award in the entire international image competiton. What a thrill! My album "Most Wanted" was the overall winner and the winner in the non-event album category,.

"Hannibal Teddy" won the the highest possible score in the 2018 International Photographic Competition. It is nominated, along with my album "Most Wanted" for a Grand Imaging Award. In addition, two of my images have graced national magazines this fall: "Whoo's Got the Key" was on the cover of Photoshop User Magazine in September, and "Alien Incubation" hit the cover of Professional Magazine in October, just a few weeks later.
