The inaugural Sedona Photography Symposium will be held Thursday through Sunday, Aug. 22 through 25.
Mastering Visual Artistry, the theme of this year’s event, emphasizes the creative side of photography in an upbeat, casual and welcoming environment. Participants will learn through presentations, breakout session, hands-on field excursions and workshops lead by landscape photographers.
Photographers presenting during this event and its associated workshops include Rick Sammon, Guy Tal, Bruce Hucko, Erin Babnik, Colleen Miniuk, Kurt Budliger, Scott Stulberg and Adam Schallau.
Thanks to a benefactor, the Sedona Photography Symposium is offering four scholarships. In order to qualify, participants need to be at least 18 years of age by Thursday, Aug. 15, provide their own transportation to and from the symposium site in Sedona and bring a camera.
You don’t need to call yourself an artist or photographer to apply, but will be much more of one when you leave,” said Sarah Dolliver, director of the Symposium.
Interested applicants are instructed to fill out the scholarship form online at sedonaphotosym.com/scholarships and submit five photos to the Scholarship Committee. Questions may be submitted to scholarship@SedonaPhotoSym.com. The deadline for applications is Tuesday, April 16.
The Sedona Photography Symposium is presented through the Sedona Camera Club, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing education and resources for photographers of all skill levels.
