Results of 2021 Portfolio Presentation & ZOOM Meeting

Members might recall that Craig Parker presented his portfolio entry for PSA evaluation at a ZOOM tutorial earlier in the year. Following this presentation our club ran its own “Portfolio Competition” to allow members to gain some experience with preparing a portfolio of six individual images, a composite image and an accompanying “Statement of Intent”. The club’s “Portfolio Competition” was essentially a development opportunity for members who may consider entering an external portfolio competition in the future. Craig very kindly agreed to “judge” the entries, grade them and add comments.

Judging for the club’s 2021 Portfolio Competition is now complete and the results will be revealed via a club ZOOM Session at 7.00pm on Wednesday 20th October where Craig will present the entries, their grades and his comments. All club members regardless of whether they entered are encouraged to attend. At the end of Craig’s presentation there will be a forum discussion on the entries and a chance to hear from some of the people who submitted entries and to learn a little more about their entry and why they selected the topic they did.

To join the ZOOM Meeting click on the link accessible from the Members area on the club website.
