Our renowned panelists include photographers:
 
Michele Clement
Michele Clement is recognized as one of our greatest photographers and has been published and exhibited internationally. As a storyteller and craftsperson, she works through composition and metaphor to tap the female psyche and directs the viewer to engage in a quest for understanding. Her subjects are not held fast to one philosophy, thought, or time, but rather a representation and exploration of universal forms.

Emily Merrill
Emily Merrill is based in San Francisco and has been photographing the nude for 3 years. The female nude is a subject that she relies on to capture a lot of personal work. “I’m drawn to photograph the nude because the body shares so many stories.”
