ABOUT THE EVENT
Step into a world where photography becomes more than capturing light—it becomes a language of expression, perception, and emotion. Voices of Vision brings together three exceptional artists—Jeff Johnson, Kevin Holliday, and Dennis Kelley—each offering a unique visual experience of the world.
This immersive Zoom workshop is not just a series of presentations; it is a creative journey. Kevin will guide you through the art of long exposure photography, revealing how time and natural spaces can tell stories that linger in the mind. Jeff will inspire you to embrace the unexpected, showing how curiosity and openness can transform ordinary subjects into eclectic, compelling works of art. Dennis will teach you to see the invisible, discovering the hidden rhythms and details of everyday life through the lens of street photography.
By attending, you’ll learn more than new techniques—you’ll cultivate a visual vocabulary that allows you to create images that are expressive, intentional, and deeply personal. You’ll learn to navigate light, time, space, and chance with confidence, curiosity, and courage, transforming what you see into photographs that speak, resonate, and endure.
Join Voices of Vision and let your photography evolve into something more than images—it becomes a reflection of humanity, a dialogue with the world, and a testament to the unseen beauty waiting to be discovered.
