Co-curated by Dan Biferie, photography program chair; Gary Monroe, photography professor; and Juliana Romnes, the Museum’s interim director; the exhibition is a celebration of the accomplishments of 17 photographers that studied at the Southeast Center for Photographic Studies between 1979 and 2009, and focuses on alumni that have made Central Florida their home—pursuing, excelling, and succeeding in a myriad of commercial photography specializations from architectural, portrait, and wedding photography to fashion, travel, and lifestyle photography.
