For the first time in its 8-year history, PHOTOVILLE – New York City's premier photo festival is coming to LA! Annenberg Space for Photography Presents Photoville LA, created and produced by United Photo Industries, will feature exhibitions in repurposed shipping containers, photo cubes, and lightboxes that will create a festival atmosphere with multiple galleries for Angelenos to explore. I will be exhiting my photograph "Black Beauty" from the series "Prior Pleasures" in the Los Angeles Center of Photography container.
