Pictures on Metal Murals

For those looking for a more contemporary way to display their portraits, Metal Mural Panels are what you are looking for. We can have any portrait placed on 12 inch metal plaques that can be used alone or combined to create an interesting and beautiful mural.

These surface of the Metal Mural is UV coated and scratch resistant. Finger prints can be wiped off easily with the soft cloth like a swifter. The patent pending process for "infusing" the photos onto the Metal Mural Panels will not peel and will last indefinitely if kept indoors. A matte or gloss finish is available as well as imprinting on both side of the panels, giving you the option to change out the image on display periodically or for use in a situation where both sides can be displayed.

Certified Professional Photographer

With the relatively low-cost of entry into the photography profession, thousands are picking up DSLRs and calling themselves professional photographers. Many do not even have the basic indemnification insurance, subscribe to any professional photography organizations, nor do they have any formal training.


That being said...


I am pleased to announce that Liz, who is a member of PPA and does have formal training, is also a recognized candidate for the Certified Professional Photographer's credential! 


The credentials are awarded by the Professional Photographic Certification Commission and they follow the same standards established by the Institute of Credentialing Excellence. A CPP at the end of a Photographer title is the equivalent of a CPA on an accountant title. It is a three step process to earn the CPP credential of which she has completed the first. Now she will be studying for comprehensive exam that includes but isn't limited to knowledge of composition, design, lenses, metering, lighting, exposure, and post production and preparing a portfolio to submit to the commission for review.


Out of all the so called professional photographers in the world, approximately only 1800 hold that actual title of CPP. That means that about 8% of "professional photographers" have gone to the trouble of actually certifying their ability and committing to adhere to higher standard of work and ethics! That percentage drops every year with all the newly declared "professional photographers".


HIP!HIP! for Liz. We are all cheering for you!
