Two weeks from today, I will join my fellow Team USA 🇺🇸 teammates as we compete against 56 countries for the World Photographic Cup in Reykjavík, Iceland!

The World Photographic Cup (WPC) is an international photography competition that brings together professional photographers from around the globe to compete on their national team. Like the Olympic Games, the Cup awards individuals’ images with gold, silver, and bronze medals. Then, teams earn points based on an aggregate score of the top ten images in all categories. The World Photographic Cup is awarded to the national team that receives the highest overall score.

How are images selected for Team USA? Team USA images are selected from submissions to the International Photographic Competition (IPC) and Merit Image Review (MIR), and the maker must be a U.S. citizen. Images chosen based on the WPC categories and what PPA feels will give the team the best chance to compete on the world stage.

Another SOLD piece! ❤️

This image, 2020: The Dark Year, was my very FIRST fine art self portrait shot during COVID.

The image was created in-camera as a double exposure paying homage to Duane Michals’ double exposures of René Magritte.

Sold! This framed photograph by Emmalee Rathsam found a new home the other day with some wonderful new clients. You can find more of Emmalee's work here: https://leopoldgallery.com/artist/emmalee-rathsam
