THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
By David Swanson, 2017 IEPPV President
Finding your place in photography is a tough job. We all gravitate in a direction that is agreeable to each of our personalities and interests. Whether you’re a weekend hobbyist, budding enthusiast, or a seasoned pro, it can be daunting to face new challenges while pushing the envelope a little further. However, there are times that opportunities are presented and we are forced to carve different routes stepping outside the comfort zone. Whether it be technology, skill sets, techniques, or equipment, there is certainly a plethora of choices and directions out there to consider.
IEPPV can help bridge the gap between the photo enthusiast and full-time professional, making the route a little easier to walk down. You’re never alone when you’re amongst friends willing to help along the way. IEPPV is dedicated to inspiring photographers through a passionate pursuit and exchange of ideas, artistic expression, education, growth, and teamwork. You’re never alone amongst family and I am proud to be part of IEPPV.
