Two Bears Photo Nashoba Valley Photo Club presents a

Special Webinar Presentation
by Lisa Langell
Wednesday, October 14, 2020 at 7:30 PM

"We as photographers often want to be more innovative and
creative, but our own mental barriers can prevent the creative
process from happening. One of the biggest mental
blocks is simply believing, I’m not a very creative person."

Lisa hears this most often from engineers, accountants, and those in technical fields
who have struggled to discover the creative style they desire.
This webinar will provide tips on how to get beyond those struggles.

This is a "Members Only" event.
