San Francisco photographer (and proud Georgia native) Cassie Valente loves the creative community, and this ideal recently came together when she hosted a workshop and group mentorship here at Park Studios. As any photographer knows, designing a shoot is one of the most exciting aspects of fine art photography because it’s an opportunity to create a world for the client and also serves as another outlet for the photographer. Cassie took this task very seriously. It’s no surprise that we’re over-the-moon for how this mentorship turned out. The sweet workshop was full of beautiful pieces and accents (the painted backdrop is out of this world), and bursting with the love of creatives who put their hearts and souls into their work. Find out more about the mentorship here, and all the creative group, below.
