What is Super Monday?
Super Monday is a one-day fundraising event that builds the photographic and business skills of professional photographers. On Super Monday, professional photographers host seminars in their studios, with the proceeds going to help PPA educational projects. These one-day programs focus on everything from traditional photography and digital imaging to business and marketing skills.
