A group of photographers at Santa Monica College recently had a unique opportunity to work with a prominent professional in their field to create significant works of art. Thanks to the J. Paul Getty Museum, the organization that put the project together, 10 advanced photography students were given a chance to work with Alex Harris to photograph local neighborhoods for an exhibit currently taking place at SMC’s Photography Gallery, which is located at SMC’s main campus at 1900 Pico Blvd.

The gallery will be exhibiting the works until Nov. 2\. Hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 5 to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. For information, call (310) 434-4289.
