What’s a “Breakthrough Speaker”?

A Breakthrough Speaker is either an emerging photographer or an established pro who is not part of other mainstream photo seminars.  Their presentations are raw and passionate – not sale-sy, over-polished or repetitive.  Year after year, we’re proud to have these talented photographers share their learning and experiences with us.

Here’s a little bit from a previous conference:
