SPD@SMASHBOX LA: Shout-outs to our Unsung Heroes
SpeakEasy 07.16.10
A few weeks back we had the honor and the pleasure of hosting our first ever Speakeasy in LA at Smashbox Studios West Hollywood. "Unsung Heroes of the American West" put the spotlight on five photographers working in the LA area, each with a special perspective on the work they do, both commissioned and personal. Presented to the audience by an art director, photo editor or rep who is a big fan of their work, the rest of us were able to hear about their methods and challenges, ask our biggest questions, and leave at the end of the night as bigger fans of each of them. If you weren't able to join us, we can share the video portfolios that were created to introduce each photographer -- take a look after the jump...
Photos above: a sample from each of the five heroes featured after the jump -- Diana Koenigsberg, Betsy Winchell, Mathieu Young, Ted Soqui and Jill Greenberg.
