Join us in September as we welcome Michelle Pennings!

Michelle's highly creative photographic designs have produced some beautifully artistic award-winning images. She is 2021 Photographer of the Year for Professional Photographers of San Diego County. Michelle has attained her Master of Photography Degree and is a Certified Professional Photographer through PPA. She is an associate of The Portrait Masters and WPPI. She is also an international award winning photographer with multiple awards from IPC, WPPI, MPI, AIM, RISE and The Portrait Masters.

Join us for our Tuesday evening presentation as Michelle shares her creative process from inspiration to creation. She will share her images, do-it-yourself projects, and where to find creativity. Tuesday's evening presentation will be both in-person and online via zoom. 

For a full-day, hands on experience, we highly recommend joining us for this PPA Merited event! On Wednesday, Michelle will lean in further to finding creativity, as we mold and explore as we create a stylized costume and set with found objects. Learn how she poses and lights her subjects for impact. If there is time at the end of the day, Michelle will share with us some of her editing techniques.
