So once you have the inspiration, you will have the tools to go and achieve your perfect image. This is a prestigious listing for your business to be listed in this special edition of our magazine. If you won last year or any of the previous years, you are most definitely going to want to enter to try to reclaim your title! And if you won Icon Status you definitely want to win again this year and the two additional titles we added in the last four years...Photography Influencer and Honorable Mentions! Better yet…try for Photography Legend!
