President’s Message
Our years started off with a great speaker, Ben Willmore. The meeting was originally scheduled to be our first live meeting since COVID, but with rising statistics, we made the decision to do the meeting online instead. We plan to have the February meeting online as well and will do the March Image Salon competition online. Hopefully April will be the return to live meetings and we’ll be monitoring the situation and keeping you informed. The health and safety of our members is our primary concern.
It’s renewal time It’s time to renew your TAPPA membership and if you were a member last year and renew by February 9th, your 2021 membership is half price!
I also want you to consider this; I and many others credit TAPPA for a large part of our success, The friendships, encouragement, help and motivation from experienced people who are successfully doing what I want to do can’t be measured and can’t be accessed anywhere else.
What I want to do for you I want to help you. If you’re a member, call, text or email me with your challenges you’re facing right now and I will personally help you or refer you to another member who will. 30+ years of full time self employment as a creative professional is at your service. I answer my phone, call me. With gratitude,
Membership is valuable, especially now

This class will discuss Bill’s four major concepts to grasp when photographing people. From portraiture to weddings, the concepts and techniques that master artists, dating back centuries, have taken into consideration prior to picking up the pencil, brush or lens. You will dive deep into one of these concepts and come out with new tools and knowledge that you can’t put into action in your very next session. Don’t just take pictures, create masterpieces.

TAPPA Student of the Year Ariday Castellanos My name is Ariday Castellanos. I am Cuban and I also lived in Spain for three years with my family. I came to the United States alone in 2016, eager to make my dreams come true because this is the land of opportunity. I remember my first job was cleaning hotels. While cleaning bathrooms and rooms, I started listening to personal development talks, it was something new to me. I met Tony Robbins, Jim Rohn, Oprah, and other amazing speakers who revolutionized my thinking. Photography came to into my life coincidentally. A friend who had parties and events needed a photographer to promote them. I had a camera, but I hardly knew how to use it. He asked me to help him and said he would pay me. I accepted, without having any idea of photography, light, cameras, composition, just using my camera in automatic mode. I really enjoyed what I was doing because it allowed me to interact with and meet a lot of people. So, I decided that I wanted to learn to be a professional photographer. In school. I won a scholarship which allowed me to study Commercial Photography program at Pinellas Technical College. Thanks to clients, I was able to build my portfolio, participate in competitions, create and build my photography business and work on my passion while studying. In 2020. I became Student of the Year and won first place in the Portrait category in the TAPPA

association. I want to thank this incredible country for every opportunity and everyone who has supported me during my training. My dear teacher, Rose Romero, Dr. Campbell, Project Prosper, Marcela and my teacher, Mr. Landes, for all their knowledge, support and patience with my terrible English. It doesn’t matter your origin, your color, or your language; the important thing is to know where you want to go and who you want to become. In life, you have two options: either you go for everything or you go for nothing, and I chose the former.
