Mike Giovinazzo Presenting in April

Mike joined his first camera club over 40 years ago and was immediately encouraged when he started winning photographic awards in local and Canadian Association for Photographic Art (CAPA) competitions. One of the guest speakers at that camera club was a pro who outlined the realities of running a photography business. This really resonated with Mike who had started down the road to weddings, portraits and events. He then realized photography as a career could kill the spark so he focused on it as an avid hobby and more artistic pursuit.
