I photographed the grand opening of a small pottery painting studio in Auburn, AL, to capture the sense of community, creativity, and excitement that the space brings to the area. As a photographer, I love documenting unique local businesses that inspire connection and self-expression. The studio offers a welcoming environment for people of all ages to explore their artistic talents, and I wanted to highlight the joy and engagement that comes from hands-on creativity. Through my photos, I aimed to tell the story of the studio’s warm atmosphere and the meaningful experiences it fosters.
