ASMP Arizona/Tucson provides valuable business resources and education to Tucson's professional photography community while fostering relationships and creativity. Our goal is an informed and savvy professional photography community.
OK so I know this is a little selfish on my part but this photographer is one of my personal hero’s – His work is stunning in my humble opinion…. and since he is turning 66 today he gets the PHOTO of THE DAY placement.

Please if you have some suggestions of your favorite photographers send them over to me so we can post them up to the blog. It’s not just a space that is about ASMP Tucson, it’s a place that is also supposed to inspire us.
