ASMP Press Release

ASMP will present a seminar series by 18 extraordinary member photographers this fall and winter. The talks, to be held at the Apple Stores in New York, Chicago and San Francisco, are part of Apple Computer’s Pro Sessions event series. Mark your calendars, coordinate your schedules! On September 25, the first three in the series will take place.

The downtown Chicago Apple store will feature Victor Skrebneski, whose diverse body of work has included everything from wildly inventive fashion images as the exclusive photographer for Estee Lauder, to starkly revealing portraits and haunting cityscapes.
On the same day, the San Francisco Apple store near Union Square will play host to Morton Beebe, who has covered the world, combining advertising assignments for his corporate clients with editorial assignments for Travel & Leisure, National Geographic and others. And in the New York Apple store on Prince St. will be Jay Maisel,  whose name has become synonymous with vibrant color photography that uses light and gesture to create countless unforgettable images for advertising, editorial and corporate communications.

At each session, the presenter will show slides and talk about portfolio marketing, assessing the needs of photo editors, and ways of succeeding in this challenging field. Admission is free and open to the public; space is on a first-come first-served basis.

Further events in the series are set for the same places in October and November:

New York City:
  Michael Furman October 23
  Chase Jarvis Nov. 20

Chicago:
  Steve Grubman Oct 23
  Nick Vedros Nov. 20
