Las Vegas-based Blend Images is sponsoring new non-profit foundation Young Photographers Alliance. In this role, Blend will help young photographers connect with the inspiration, resources and contacts.
Industry leaders Deborah Free and Jerry Tavin established YPA earlier this year to nurture young hopefuls from around the globe by providing scholarships, mentoring, internships and educational programs.
YPA’s first gala awards and benefit takes place in New York on October 13. In addition to charging admission, fundraising activities will include an auction of original signed prints by notable photographers.
