A single photograph can transport us to another place, awaken long-forgotten memories, or reveal the beauty hidden in everyday moments. Join acclaimed photographer, teacher, and storyteller Eddie Soloway for an inspiring presentation that explores how photography can deepen our connection to the natural world and help us see with fresh eyes. Through stunning images and engaging stories, Eddie will share practical ways to create more meaningful, personal photographs—whether you’re using a professional camera or a smartphone.

Eddie Soloway has taught photography and creativity at leading photographic institutions around the world. He received the Excellence in Photographic Teaching Award from the Santa Fe Center for Photographic Arts (now CENTER), and Photo District News recognized him as one of America’s top photography workshop instructors.
