SUMMARY:Local Photographer Hosts Informal Portrait Session at Local Brewery
DESCRIPTION:\n\n[caption id="attachment_1152997" align="alignnone" width="7
 00"] Photo by Angelo Merendino[/caption]\nThu 6/18 @ 4-7PM\n\n\nAngelo Mer
 endino works as a local studio and editorial photographer. But he’s also
  earned a reputation as a fine art photographer for his personal project d
 ocumenting his late wife Jennifer’s fight with cancer.\n\n\n\n\nPortrait
 ure is one of his specialties\, so he hatched a plan to spend an evening t
 aking portraits in a public place of whoever shows up — friends and stra
 ngers. It happened after a non-productive winter when he says\, he arrange
 d with his favorite bar\, Forest City Brewery in Ohio City to bring his ba
 ckdrop and lights during happy hour\, made a few social media posts and to
 ld his friends to show up and have their picture taken\,   about the eve
 nt on social media\, sent texts to some friends and promised myself that I
 'd let the night be whatever it would be. He ended up with 44 people showi
 ng up. So he did it again. And now he’s doing it yet again.\n\n\n\nHis c
 ommunity portrait project Pints &amp\; Portraits will be back at Forest Ci
 ty Brewery this Thursday June 18. It’s free and open to all. And each pe
 rson who sits for a portrait will get a black-and-white digital file of th
 eir portrait.\n\n\n\n“Solo sitters only — bring your friends\, but you
 'll each get your own moment in front of the camera\,” he says. “No dr
 ess code. No charge.”\n\n\n\n angelomerendino.com/pintsandportraits\n\n
