Symposium Photos

Thought I’d share a few more photos from the University Photographers Association of America’s (UPAA) symposium. Every year, the group holds a symposium. It’s hosted at a different school each year and this year it was at Wake Forest in Winston-Salem, NC.

The week-long event consists of lectures, presentations, some demonstrations, and this year, a day a free portraits for community members who are first responders. Then there was the Triple Play, in addition to a day of shooting, this time at The Salem Museum and Gardens.

Unfortunately they are in the wrong order – oldest to newest. Click to enlarge.
