The exhibit at the Los Angeles Center for Photography is the culmination of work by Los Angeles-area high school students and professional visual storytellers. AfroLA, a nonprofit news outlet covering L.A. through the lens of the Black community, partnered with Black Women Photographers to produce an immersive art exhibition focused on the intersection of environmental and racial justice.

FREE with RSVP.

Black Women Photographers is proud to partner with LR2 PHOTO STUDIO and Bronx Girls Skate (BXGS) to host our first photo walk in the Boogie Down Bronx!

Starting November off right, photographers will shoot action shots and portraits of BXGS models with crisp fall lighting and against the open space that surrounds LR2. We’ll be demonstrating how to capture moments in motion with motion blur tips, and supporting photographers with any skills-related questions as needed.

As always, photographers of all skill levels are welcome and everyone is encouraged to step in front of the lens throughout the event! Show up, show out and come ready to learn. We look forward to a day full of creation, collaboration and connection.

If you have any questions, reach out to your BWP host Vonecia at hi@voneciacarswell.com.
