Thinking of making your first photography purchase? Maybe you already have purchased a few pieces, but would feel better if you knew more about the history of the medium? Are you a seasoned collector but need a refresher?

Using real-life examples, Susan Todd-Raque will guide you through a brief history of the medium, focusing on the major ideas and movements. She will demystify printing nomenclature and explain editioning, the importance of forming relationships with photography dealers, and how to ask the right questions when looking at photography. To conclude the seminar, Atlanta's premier fine art framer, Myott Studios, will give a short presentation on how and when to protect your artwork from damage; including mounting, matting, framing and UV protection.
