Seeing Humanity: An Evening with Frank Meo and Guests

Adorama is proud to bring Frank Meo's Projections to our event space. Join us for an evening of art, empathy, and perspective with two photographers whose work reveals the beauty and resilience of the human experience.

Hosted by Frank Meo—curator, mentor, and founder of PROJECTIONS NYC— Franks brings Beth Galton, award-winning fine art photographer and Sony World Photography Award 2024 recipient, and William Vázquez, humanitarian and commercial photographer whose global portraits capture the universal joy of being human to Projections.

Each will explore:

• The emotional language of photography across cultures
• Finding beauty and meaning in impermanence and chaos
• How personal philosophy shapes artistic vision
• The evolving role of photography in storytelling and social impact

Beth will share insights from her acclaimed series Memory of Absence and her recently published book COVID Diary (Fall Line Press, 2024).

William will present selections from Find the Joy, a powerful body of work capturing authentic human connection across the globe.

Whether you’re a photographer, visual storyteller, or creative thinker, this evening promises to spark reflection and remind us why we look, see, and feel. Admission is free, but space is limited. Reserve your spot today!

Please Note: This is a don't miss in-person event that is also livestreamed on the Adorama Events YouTube channel.
