PROGRAM IDEAS
PROGRAM TOPIC: Photography
Speakers: (4) Photographers The Mamone’s, Carpe Vita Photography, Thisbe Grace Photography, Perez Photography Format: Invite people to bring their camera with questions etc. Divide room into (4) and put a group of (4) tables per area. People will sit at tables and each photographer will address the basics of photography, what to look for, what to avoid etc. Guests can ask specific questions about their camera, learn tips and tricks etc. Each area would need its own screen and projector. Décor: Table décor could be simple but each photographer could have a display of their photos on easels in their area. Entertainment Ideas: Green Screen, Photo booth Activity: Baby Photo contest - have members submit baby photos and we post them and see who can guess the most right.
