Photographic Competition Primer with Marty Grivjack, Cr.Photog., FSA

Note:  Date changed to October 29.

The date of this Program Night has been changed to the 5th Thursday of October due to a conflict in Marty Grivjack's schedule.

Join FPP (Florida Professional Photographers) Salon insider, digital salon master Lightroom operator and PPA Photographic Craftsman Marty Grivjack for an evening filled with competition tips, techniques, ideas and thought-starters. If you’re befuddled, baffled or just flat out confused with what judges are looking for in the roughly ~45 seconds they take to view and score an image, this is the program to attend.

Marty has been on the FPP Salon Competition committee since 2005. Witnessing the transition from all-print to hybrid print-and-digital submissions, he will explain to you what wins, what does not, what to do and what not to do, what looks great as digital and what should be produced as a print. From sizes and styles to composition and creativity, Marty covers all the bases on how to compose, create and submit your image for competition, whether for your local competition and beyond.

Bring your questions and ideas to the meeting. During the second half of the program, we’ll go over a group of images that were previously submitted and scored…you’ll apply your newly acquired insight as these images are presented and YOU are the judge…you guess the score, see how close you are…then you’ll learn how the judges ruled on it. You will leave with new skills, inspiring ideas and more confidence to enter your own award-winning image submissions. There are decades of overwhelming scientific evidence proving that you can’t merit if you don’t enter competition. Every image starts out at 100…don’t lose out!
