Photographers Narrative

 

As public affairs professionals, we often have to photograph routine events. The challenge is to identify and capture the story through compelling and dynamic imagery. Although this assignment was a mere luncheon, I sought to photograph something more. Once the event was reenergized, I was able to capture the camaraderie that makes the Air Force such a strong organization.  Through energy, dedication, and teamwork, Airmen are able to do the extraordinary, even raising money for the community.
