Richard Kelly Experience

We started in 2018 to offer photography workshops and real-world experiences to Greater Pittsburgh enthusiasts, artists, and professionals in the photography community. Emerging from the Pittsburgh Filmmakers and PCAM educational centers, we offer one-day and multi-day photography experiences in South Western Pennsylvania and beyond. In Spring 2020, we launched Talking Photography N'at, an online virtual meet-up group we meet regularly on Zoom. Learn more here.

His work has appeared in Vogue, Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, Esquire, People and The New York Times, among other publications.

Curtis Reaves

Photographer & Educator

Pennsylvania Fine Art Photographer, Curtis Reaves responsibly creates artful wall accents for residential and commercial environments. The foundation and uniqueness of his work is influenced by the process of envisioning the countless possibilities unearthed in discarded natural materials. Blurring the visual lines between paintings and photography, Reaves utilizes film, digital processes, and computer technology to transform his work into poetic abstract imagery.
