Photo Book Quiz 2

We recently staged an online, zoom based photo book quiz for a bunch of photographers. It went very well, and we posted the quiz, now having held our second quiz we thought we would share that quiz also! So, to save you the trouble of having to write your own questions and find your own answers here is the second quiz we set. Why not set up your own event! Wine, beer, bar snacks and bar based Zoom backgrounds are optional! Or maybe you just might want to test your own knowledge! You’ll find the answers at the bottom of this page.

You can find the first quiz here: https://unitednationsofphotography.com/2020/05/18/photo-book-quiz/
