BPSA Portfolio Distinction

Horses of the Sea (achieved in 2021)
The resilient white Camargue horses in the south of France live in a semi-feral environment. To photograph these mares as they galloped through the water was a pleasure. Witnessing a horse’s natural tendencies and subtle body motions, used to communicate silently with each other, is delightful to photograph. Only horses that have been living together for a long period of time display this refined connection. Domestic horses are rarely this expressive.

The Photographic Society of America (PSA) offers an opportunity  to earn a portfolio distinction. In October 2021, I earned a BPSA (bronze portfolio distinction) from PSA.

To earn this, a photographer produces a body of work that reflects his/her personal styles and photographic interest and submits it for review. A photographer may earn three levels of Portfolio Distinctions, each requiring a higher degree of both creative talent and number of submitted images.
