Based in Athens, Georgia, The Humid was founded in 2018 by Irina Rozovsky and Mark Steinmetz (we're also married). An educational space committed to the practice of rigorous and ambitious photography, The Humid offers workshops, artist lectures, and portfolio reviews. We want to share our love for the medium with a global community and create a forum for intersecting visions, generations, cultures, and geographies.
Before Covid-19, our doors were open for in-person events attended by participants from all over the United States. Although our physical space is temporarily closed, we are now connecting virtually with photographers from across the globe (via Zoom). Our artist lectures are always free and open to everyone, everywhere. We hope you will join us.
