Celebrating UM's Advanced Documentary Photography Class

Pulitzer Prize winner Patrick Farrell's UM photography students showed 'The Village in Profile,' Coconut Grove portraits sold to benefit Shake-A-Leg Miami.

UM Advanced Documentary Photography Class at Shake-A-Leg Miami

Led by Pulitzer Prize winner Patrick Farrell, graduate and undergraduate students were tasked with capturing images of the people of Coconut Grove for a project called "The Village in Profile". The resulting gallery, housed at the hangar, was a resounding success, with many attendees and photographs sold to benefit Shake A Leg Miami.

We commend both Professor Farrell and the talented students for their outstanding work.
