Who: Club members and visitors
Program: Mark Surls: Photo Advocacy: How art can lead to action.

Photo advocacy highlights the uniquely powerful role photographers have in shaping awareness and inspiring action. Because we spend time observing our subjects and the environments they depend on, we develop insights that others rarely access — and our images become a bridge between those lived realities and the public. A single photograph can distill a complex issue into an emotional moment that resonates, educates, and motivates.
When photographers pair artistic intention with a deep understanding of place, behavior, and context, our work becomes more than documentation. It becomes testimony — a visual call for people to pay attention, care, and act.
