Philly Street Photographer Speaking at D&R Greenway

PHILLY COMES TO PRINCETON: The January 2017 Meeting of the Princeton Photography Club will include a talk by Philadelphia street photographer, Susan Nam. An example of her work is shown here.

Susan Nam is a documentary and street photographer who has lived in Philadelphia since 2007. Raised by a single mother and growing up as a Korean-American, Nam’s photographs reflect her strong interest and appreciation for different cultures and unique family dynamics. Nam’s work has a huge emphasis and focus on community — not only documenting it, but more importantly being part of it. Her talk will explore and dissect various projects taken over the years: The Broad Street Line, Brewerytown, Aida, and a smaller series based around celebrations of Bar/Bat Mitzvahs. Having graduated in 2010 from the Art Institute of Philadelphia with the Outstanding Achievement award from her class, Nam has since been featured in various photo competitions and exhibitions throughout the Philadelphia region.

The event, sponsored by the Princeton Photography Club, is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be offered. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 11 at the D&R Greenway Land Trust, One Preservation Place, Princeton. The event will run from 7:30 — 9:30 p.m. ADA accessible. For directions or more information, contact David Anderson, president, at (609) 658-8551 or visit the PPC website at www.princetonphotoclub.org.
