Join us for an Artist Talk with photographers, and members of The Exposure Group: Sharon Farmer, Sandy Adams, and Marvin Jones. These artists will share their experience and impart wisdom on the topic of storytelling from behind, and in front of, the lens.

From the Exposure Group: “A picture is worth a thousand words." Photographs can tell you a lot about the subject and photographer.  Gather insight into the subject, aim up high, down low, and capture action shots, landscape, detailed images, and relate the subject's story to the viewer.  In addition, try unusual perspectives or details that can add depth, intrigue and understanding. Every photo tells a story, every picture immerses us in another world.  We can only capture our own experiences, but also give other people an insight into our feelings and experiences.
