For the last six years, I have been submitting images to Professional Photographers of America judges seeking merits towards my goal of attaining my Master of Photography with this prestigious institution. I accomplished this goal this past January at the annual meeting! And, two (2) of my images were selected for the International Photographic Competition, earning bronzes! As part of the merit and competition achievements for members, Marathon Press publishes two (2) volumes each year showcasing these merit and competition images. For the 2025 year, five (5) of my images will be published in the Image Excellence Book and two (2) will be published in the elite Showcase Book for those who who placed in the competition.I am also excited to announce that one of my images that earned a bronze with this International Photog. Competition of PPA in 2024, was written about in Marathon Press’s blog post to their clients and PPA members.About “CEO in Training:"In this post, discover how a simple portrait session became a turning point in one teen’s confidence and self-perception. In this heartfelt story from Warner-Prokos Photography, a young individual steps outside his comfort zone, embraces the camera, and begins to see himself in a new, empowering way. This piece beautifully captures the transformative power of creative expression and the impact of supportive, intentional experiences.Thank you, Marathon Press.
