Ten students being spotlighted are part of The Salon Group program offered by the BAPWT. The program is a photographic “think tank” that meets once-a-month designed to encourage free-flowing ideas and originality. Members learn artistic approaches, style and how art history influences photographic creativity. Members must complete an eleven-week class within the last two years and nine one-on-one mentoring sessions as well as submit a digital or printed portfolio for review.
