Join Fred Greaves, official photographer of the San Diego County Fair, for a lively, insightful presentation shaped by years behind the lens as a photojournalist. From the energy in the Fun Zone to the glow of night-sky fireworks, you’ll gain practical techniques, sharpen your eye, and learn to recognize the moments that matter. Fred will share the essentials of strong photojournalism — how to tell a story, anticipate the decisive moment, and capture it in its best light.
Afterwards, put your new learnings into action and enter one of the two Photo Shootouts at the Exhibition of Photography on June 21 and June 28 (advanced registration required). Or, have fun taking images at the Fair this summer and consider submitting your favorites to the “Fair Theme” category in the Exhibition of Photography in 2027.
