Past Events
Each ASMPDC member will be discussing and showing the work of his or her choice for ten minutes – it may be a recent assignment, a completed commercial job, a personal project, or some series of specific images that resonate with the photographer. We are looking forward to a lively discussion from a very diverse group of photographers showing us how they approach the craft and business of great imagery.
