JAMES HODGINS PHOTOGRAPHY

Finally had a chance to open some goodies that arrived for me last week.  The award on the left is from my 3rd place win at WPPI.  The award  in the middle is for “Best Group Portrait” from the Professional Photographers Of Canada – Ontario for the image “This is what happens to crappy print judges” and the one on the right is a “Judges Choice” Award for “The Big Catch”.  Both these images have been sent off for the National Print Competition next month in Mont Tremblant.  Entering Print competitions is very beneficial to any photographer and I will be speaking about this during my presentation in Chicago next week.  It helps us strive to create the best image possible EVERY TIME which is  beneficial to ourselves and our clients.   The judges look for such thins as Storytelling, Composition, Presentation and what I like to call the WOW Factor.  Having your images critiqued by your peers can  give you an eye opener to your photography (good or bad) but either way it’s a learning experience.

Heading to Chicago tomorrow afternoon for the Inferno Convention so see you next week.

Don’t you just wish these puppies can stay puppies forever?

“Hey, what are you lookin at?”

Well I went and visited the SPCA and Pet Save yesterday and we are now officially offering all Adoptions a James Hodgins Photography Signature Pet Portrait Session for FREE.  If your thinking of getting a pet, then why not save one?  Last year Pet Save did over 1000 adoptions. WOW!  If you do adopt from these two organizations you will get an exclusive offer from our Studio.

Sometime SOON we are giving away $5000 in free photography.  Yup, you read right.  $5000 (dollars).  How?  Well it will all be revealed soon and you have to check our blog of facebook to be the first to know.

Last, please vote for my image in my previous post.  Share the link, send to your friends and family and cast your vote.  It’s back to work today and boy are we busy, plus we have all our speaking gigs coming up like our NoBs Roadshow, Chicago Inferno and somewhere in there I have WPPI in Vegas, oh ya, and we have to run a studio too.  Play hard work hard right?  Damn it’s good to be back.
