Join SECCA for a portrait experience with fantastic local photographers!

This immersive experience will kick off with a conversation led by Winston-Salem based artists on the latest trends and techniques in contemporary photography and portraiture. You’ll learn about the power of the portrait as a means of expression and storytelling, and gain insight into what it takes to produce an impactful image.

Following the talk, you can put your knowledge into practice during a hands-on experience. Guided by professional photographers, you’ll learn how to compose a shot, work with lighting, and lay the foundation for your own artistic style. Participants will also get the chance to have a portrait taken by one of the featured artists.

Free and open to the public.

Presented in conjunction with our current exhibition, “Vitus Shell: ‘Bout It ‘Bout It, The Political Power of Just Being”
