With a macro-level knowledge of talent, trends, & technical standards, she’s seen hundreds of thousands of websites & a billion+ images, building an extensive network of photographers, illustrators & other commercial creatives in the process.

Her goal is simple: find the perfect set of images to tell the right story while using tech to scale & spread the message.

Join us on Tuesday, September 19th at 5:30 p.m. for our late summer/early fall social at Sandy Neck Beach in Sandwich. (This is a change in date from the regularly scheduled date of 9/13 as our new President, Denise from Fleeting Moments Photography, has been nominated for Cape Cod's Best Photographer 2023 from the Cape Cod Times!) We are hoping for a beautiful evening on the beach to connect with each other and chat about the crazy summer that is behind us and all of the exciting projects that we have coming up in the next few months. 

There will be a short program that Denise will spearhead about off-camera lighting on the beach at sunset. Denise will bring her Profoto lights, gels and modifiers to play and have some fun with different techniques. If anyone has a Sony or Canon Profoto trigger please bring it so we can all play. We will have a senior model there to photograph to try out different techniques.

PPOCC will provide the firewood, some snacks, non alcoholic beverage. If you would like to bring a chair and cooler please do so! Feel free to bring your dinner as well if you'd like. This will be fairly informal and just plain fun! 

PLEASE RSVP using the Zoom link above to make sure we have enough non-alcoholic beverages and snacks. 

We look forward to seeing you there!
