SYMPOSIUM – The Future of the Industry: Creative Opportunities Tuesday, September 22nd 5:00pm – 6:30pmPT

As ASMP celebrates its 75th Anniversary, the organization looks forward to the future of photography and the ramifications in the creative and business realms.

During 2020, ASMP has been on the forefront of assisting photographers and visual creators cope with the challenges of the destructive worldwide pandemic. The recently released “ASMP’s Health + Safety Guide for COVID-19: A Protocol for Visual Creators” was created by ASMP and Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel and his team, establishing a benchmark for the photo industry. Likewise, “ASMP’s Business + Legal Guide for COVID-19: A Protocol for Visual Creators” which launches on September 11, 2020, will set the standard for understanding how the pandemic affects your business and legal responsibilities.

It is against this backdrop that ASMP is presenting “The Future of the Industry: Creative Opportunities” symposium to explore how different creators are approaching how they are adapting to a new culture.  ASMP National Board Chair Marianne Lee will moderate this symposium with panelists including Kat Dalager, Art Producer and Director of Operations at Carmichael Lynch, Tracey Woods, photo/visuals director, consultant, and artist; and photographers Matt Rainwaters and Cara Robbins. Our panelists bring a varied and unique perspectives on what kinds of opportunities they see for creatives in the future.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default”][vc_column_text]

Cara Robbins
Whether focused on an artist, model, entertainer, or friend, Cara Robbins’ photos aim to bridge the gap between subject and camera. Cara graduated from Brooks Institute of Photography and is based in Los Angeles, where she works primarily in commercial portraiture and lifestyle photography. Her images are intimate, thoughtful, and distinctly personal — a true and honest reflection of both the person and the moment they’re captured in.

Matt Rainwaters
The book that changed it all for me was a TimeLife photo book titled Documentary Photography. All at once I was exposed to Robert Frank, Walker Evans, Garry Winogrand, Diane Arbus, Lee Friedlander and Dorothea Lange. That same year Thin Red Line was in theaters next to Saving Private Ryan and my mind was blown. I went to photo school in Santa Barbara. I taught high school photography in central LA. I moved to Texas and worked as an editorial shooter for some of my favorite magazines. I started directing short docs then commercials. Now here we are.
