Junior Master Photographer/Photography Ambassador Workshops

The Texas 4-H Junior Master Photographer (JMP) program provides advanced instruction to photography enthusiasts.  As a Junior Master Photographer, youth will be expected to return to their counties and districts to serve as teen leaders for the project. Additionally, Junior Master Photographers may be called upon by the County Extension Agent or 4-H Specialist to serve as photographers for various 4-H events and activities.  Only dedicated photography project youth wishing to expand their knowledge as well as service to others should apply for this opportunity.  In other words, youth do need to have a good working knowledge of their camera prior to attending this advanced training.

 

To be a certified Junior Master Photographer, candidates must:

·      Be in 7^th – 12^th grade

·      Attend BOTH Workshop I and Workshop II

·      Complete a competency test with a minimum score of 80%

·      Submit four photos taken by applicant demonstrating understanding of instruction

·      Participate in at least one practice event

·      Complete a photography community service activity

Although there is no yearly performance requirement, Junior Master Photographers are expected to return to counties and districts to help expand their photography programs. They receive the Junior Master Photographer pin and certificate. Certified JMPs in 9^th grade are eligible to apply to the State 4-H Photography Ambassador Program.
