Spring Showcase and Monthly Meeting with Guest Speaker Kelli Adams Kirkpatrick
Remember to wear your name tag!
Meeting Location: Manatee Technical College – Main Campus, 6305 FL-70, Bradenton, FL
5:15 to 6:15 pm: LWRDPC Spring Showcase
This Spring Showcase will focus on celebrating the creativity and storytelling of our members. Instead of judging and scoring, an experienced guest expert will select and present images that bring each theme to life — sharing exactly why each photograph earned its place.
This is not about competition. It’s about showing your work in a new light.
6:15 to 6:30 pm: Gather, Socialize, Buy 50/50 Tickets, Vote for People's Choice
6:30 pm: General Meeting with Guest Speaker Kelli Adams Kirkpatrick
Topic: Creative Concepts in Photography: Developing Your Vision and Style
This session is designed to help photographers move beyond technical skills and begin creating images with intention, meaning, and a personal point of view. If you’re ready to explore the why behind your photographs—not just the how—this class will guide you through the creative process.
Through visual examples and creative exercises, this program encourages exploration and growth in a supportive environment. By the end of the class, you’ll have tools to think more creatively, approach photography with purpose, and create images that reflect your unique vision and artistic voice.
