This year, a group of Tampa Bay’s most talented professional photographers and lens-based artists formed the St. Petersburg Month of Photography, a nonprofit dedicated to elevating photography in the Tampa Bay area. SPMOP brought St. Pete its first dedicated month of photography last May, with workshops, portfolio reviews, and photography exhibitions. They crowned St. Pete’s first photo laureate, set up a website devoted to photography in the Tampa Bay area, and created a calendar for folks to find photo-forward local events year-round. It was enough to inspire anyone and everyone to get out there and start taking better photos.
