Beautiful work from film photographer, Matt Dunmore.

Matt took these images down at Old Car City in White, GA. It's an intriguing spot for abstracts, detail shots, and a feeling of nostalgia.

Support Chattanooga’s photography community at Depth of Field Day! 📷

On September 24, the Chattanooga Aperture Project is hosting a full day celebrating local photography, with free workshops from 12–5 PM followed by the Aperture Exhibition & Reception from 5:30–9 PM, featuring work from more than 40 photographers.

We’re especially excited to see two PSC members leading workshops during the day:

Lightroom 101 with Richard Smith
Get acquainted with Lightroom’s Develop Module and learn the essential tools for bringing your digital images to life. Great for beginner and intermediate photographers.

Curious by Nature with Nichole Vild
One card. One hour. A hands-on creative photography session designed to interrupt your usual way of seeing and help you discover photographs you might otherwise walk right past. Bring a camera or smartphone. All experience levels welcome.

⚠️ Workshop sizes are intentionally small, and advance registration is required. Scan the QR code on the flyer to reserve your spot.

Then stick around for the evening exhibition, refreshments, activities, music, guest speakers, and a celebration of Chattanooga’s creative photography community.

📍 Workshops: Chattanooga Small Business Resource Center
📍 Exhibition & Reception: Bessie Smith Cultural Center

We love seeing more opportunities for photographers to learn, create, connect, and share their work right here in Chattanooga.
