More than
the scheduled moments.
Visit Hagerstown commissioned a photo collection for its meeting and destination marketing. Here’s how that brief became a story.
Behind the coverage
Prepared for the program.
Open to the unexpected.
A shot list and equipment planned for low light covered the essentials. Distinctive angles—including the auditorium’s side boxes—brought another perspective.
The live painter, framed through staircase railings with sunlight behind her, tells a different part of the day.
Delivered through an online gallery on October 7, 2026, for Visit Hagerstown’s marketing collection.
