Each year I attend a continuing education seminar called SPA – Senior Portrait Artist.  This is a group of cutting edge photographers that share their ideas and knowledge of their field with other photographers around the country.  It’s always a great learning experience for me and always inspirational!  Each year they have a Model Competition where they ask photography studios around the nation to submit images of their senior students in hopes of finding “real senior models” (not professional models) to work with at the convention.  They use these students to demonstrate photo techniques to attending photographers.  The models also participate in a fashion show where they show off the latest fashions!  It’s quite exciting! This year Danielle Ball will be participating in the Model Competition and I’ve posted some of her entry images below.  I really think she has a great chance of being one of the finalists.
