Four ADC Young Guns shared—frame by frame—fresh new images. Each ADC Young Gun creates imagery using multiple formats and every tool available. They shoot in any medium, resulting in work that sits comfortably in several categories or in none. These image creators—photographers, videographers, illustrators and multi-media experts—shared how they break down traditional boundaries and explore the limits. This evening was a visual feast of fresh new work from a talented crew of image-makers.
