Grand Reopening

1-2:30pm MDT: Travel & Storytelling Seminar with Erica Robinson
Travel and storytelling go hand in hand. No matter the place you go, the mode of transportation, or style of travel, you leave with one story and return with another. I believe, the allure of travel for most photographers is rooted in this newness of a place, calling us to view that adventure through our cameras and share it when we return. During this travel and storytelling seminar, we will discuss how to build a photograph with our composition, the importance of understanding and researching our location, ideal equipment to pack and how to share visual stories. FREE. REGISTER
