Jocelyne scored 1 - Excellence; 2 - Merits; and 1 - Accepted.  Jocelyne is a "people photographer" and specializes in Fine Art Children's Images as well as Family Photography.

Jocelyne loves the competition within the PPOC. She states that it "drives me", and it is an amazing learning experience. The feedback from the judges helps improve one's photography skills. Jocelyne also enjoys the designing and stylyzing of her creations.  Though there is competition, Jocelyne is also thankful for all the friendship and comaraderie that exists within the Manitoba Chapter. Her advice to all photographers is to keep pushing yourself and learn from your mistakes.

The judging was held online and each Manitoba member was able to view the judging "live" and see the various scores. Jocelyne enjoys watching the Salon by herself, but likes to keep connected with online Group chats while it goes on.  She was thrilled to be selected by the Judging Panel as 2020 Manitoba Photographer Of The Year.
