Nick De Clercq earns PPOC Accreditation

,
Professional Photographers of Canada

I am extremely proud to announce that I am officially a PPOC accredited photographer!

On February 7-8th I earned an Accreditation in Architectural after a series of my architectural work passed a juried process at the Accreditation judging session in London, Ontario.

With only 16 other photographers across Canada, 1 of them being in Atlantic Canada, and NO OTHER photographer in the Nova Scotia accredited in this category I am deeply humbled.

What is the PPOC?

Founded in 1946, the PPOC is a national association of photographers with the vision “to be Canada’s leaders in developing and maintaining the highest level of photographic excellence”. The PPOC connects photographers from across Canada, and inspires excellence through exposure to a diverse range of photographic techniques, while providing national competitions as a pinnacle of achievement.

So what does it mean to be accredited?

1. Things to see

Nova Scotia Wrap Up

These past 3 weeks, I was in Nova Scotia, Canada. A great place to go and unwind and photograph the vast nature that is still present. While Nova Scotia might seem,  to most travelers outside of Canada, as a province with nothing to do, but it is home to 2 national parks, one of the most beautiful trails in the world and the Bay of Fundy that has the highest tidal range in the world. Nova Scotia also has the highest number lighthouses of any province in Canada, which is amazing as it is the second smallest province of Canada.

1. Lighthouses to see

As Nova Scotia has the most lighthouses in Canada, you certainly have to go out and visit some of the most notable lighthouses.
