The photo show celebrates the people who call Tunbridge home. Taken this fall, the environmental portraits include farmers, artists, students, hunters, business owners and retirees. A collection of scenics of the town — in its 250th year — are also included in the show.

Laura DeCapua is the youngest of eight children and hails from a small town in the Midwest. She received her Bachelor’s degree in Journalism and her Master’s Degree in Visual Communication. Laura’s photography career began 15 years ago and her work has been published in numerous magazines and newspapers internationally, nationally and locally. Laura and her family have called Tunbridge their home for 10 years. More information about Laura’s work can be found at lauradecapua.com.
