WENDY SEAGREN

Master Photographer specializing in Landscape and Fine Art Photography

About

Upon retirement from the Insurance Industry, I went back to Gavilan Junior College in Gilroy, Ca. and took 50 units in Photography and Journalism. I then continued my photography education by taking all of my film classes at Cabrillo Junior College in Aptos, Ca. Upon moving to the Portland Area, I was delighted to find a wonderful, advanced photography studio, called Newspace Center for Photography. As a member of OPPA, (Oregon Professional Photographer's Association) and PPA (Professional Photographer's Association) I have taken advantage of all of the advanced classes offered through these associations. I am always learning. In 2016 I received my Master's Degree from Professional Photograher's of America. I officially received my Degree at Imaging USA 2017. I now continue as a member of American Society of Photographers working towards obtaining my Fellowship.
