Lens on Leimert

Join Treats. and Lore Leimert Park for another evening exploring our beloved neighborhood and learning from one of LA's brightest creative minds - Samone Kidane, co-founder of Black Image Center!

We'll:

• Meet in-store around 6:30PM to reflect on how you want to see and be seen.
• Get your mini portrait taken with our iconic bookshelves / stair banisters as a backdrop.
• Launch from Lore around 7PM to begin our photo walk around the neighborhood, stopping at key points to cover things like composition, color, texture, lighting and *vibe*.
• Return to the store around 8:45PM for a little editing lesson over wine and chats with new friends
• Share out a bit about the experience and show the group our favorite edited finished product!
