Join Treasure Coast Photography Center for an immersive, multi-event photographic experience inside the fairgrounds. This is not just a meet-up—it’s a guided workshop with three mentors positioned at three distinctly different shooting environments.
We begin with Mobile Arts Glassblowing, capturing fire, heat, gesture, and glowing color as artisans shape molten glass. From there, we transition to the Rodeo (7:00–9:00 PM) for high-action sports photography under arena lighting. At 9:15 PM, we move to the live concert featuring Dylan Gerard — Nashville-based country singer-songwriter and former contestant on The Voice (Team Adam). We’ll finish the evening on the midway, photographing motion, neon, and long-exposure light trails.
This workshop is about learning to adapt your settings, anticipate action, and create with intention across dramatically different lighting and motion environments.
