Hi Phil, I want to say thanks for posting this.

When I read it back in June I looked into it and submitted my name to Google.

They finally contacted me last week and sent me the training material after I signed their non disclosure agreement.

Just took the written test today and passed with 97%. Still need to invest in certain equipment that Google requires
be used to do the jobs and do a mock photo shoot according to their specifications before becoming fully certified.

The money I can charge for an hour shoot is only a faction of what I earn per one hour invested into creating fantasy portraits...
but being certified as a Google Trusted Photographer will lead to much bigger things!

Cheers,
Steve
