Photography Experts Speaker Series
We’re bringing in big talent with vast knowledge to make some noise in the Boston digital art and photo community.
The series kicked off on OCTOBER 27with a packed house anxious to hear Matthew Jordan Smith and Julieanne Kost from Adobe discuss everything from their early days to what inspires them today. DECEMBER featured the dynamic and inspiring Bambi Cantrell who showed off how she does what she does so well in wedding and portrait photography for a crowd of almost 200.
This speaker series is such a hit, we can't wait to see what Tony Corbell has in store for us on JANUARY 27 - join us!
