Plain Air Photography (My Proulx) will be on site to take an individual or group portrait that you set the stage for. While the digital photo is printed, work with a writing coach to create a story or statement to share with the portrait using prompts like “What is a memory you share with someone in the portrait? / What is something you want future family members or friends to know about you? / What tradition, place, or moment feels important to your story?” Then, combine the photo and writing together in a frame and decorate it with your own artistic flair. The resulting “Snapshot Story” set will consist of a framed display that you can take with you to keep or to share! Don’t miss this unique and free workshop the first weekend of December at MW Gallery in downtown Flint, MI.
Presented in connection with the exhibition “In the Eye of the Beholder” curated by Stephanie James, on view at MW Gallery through January 23, 2027.
