Have a current personal project that you have been working on and need some feedback?
Join the ASMP Gallery Committee for a night out of cocktails and critiques. The Gallery committee believes that the best way to combat slow times in business is to get shooting the projects you’ve been meaning to tackle, the things you love, the things that matter. Moderated by fine art photographer, teacher/mentor Lawrence D’Attalio, Cocktails and Critiques is a group critique, discussion and support session for professional photographers (that’s right everyone else gets to chime in too).
This event will help 6 photographers get from ideas to plans. D’Attalio is an accomplished fine art photographer who has exhibited in multiple counties and is a founding member of the Underwood Foundation, a nonprofit that does social documentary work, particulary in Vietnam. The evening will encourage and inspire you to start thinking about your own personal projects and give you the chance to talk and bounce ideas off other photographers in the community.
Cocktails and Critiques is a creative and productive environment where you are encouraged to think consciously about your creative process and connect with your peers within the photography community. Come Mix, Mingle and critique. You do not have to be showing work in order to come.
Want to be one of the six? These are the requirements for showing your work.
This must be a current body of work. It does not have to be complete; works in progress are just fine for us.
If you are interested in showing work contact Marie Phillips at amymariephillips@gmail.com or (708) 804-0215
