Author Event! Fantastic Saints by Photographer Ron Calamia

Event Type: Adults
Age Group(s): Adults
Date: 9/6/2018
Start Time: 7:00 PM
End Time: 8:30 PM
Description:
 Ron Calamia, a local photographer and long-time Saints fan, will discuss his new book, FANtastic Saints, at 7 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 6, at the East Bank Regional Library, 4747 W. Napoleon, Metairie.

This event is free of charge and is open to the public.

FANtastic Saints is a 112-page hardbound coffee table book. It features portraits of 50 Saints “super fans” that costume for all games, as well as their personal stories of dedication and love for their New Orleans Saints.

Calamia spent a year-and-a-half capturing their portraits in various mobile-studio settings. Using green screen, he later pieced together individual backgrounds for the pictures which coordinate with the theme of the fans’ costumes.

According to Calamia, "This book is a tribute to the many men and women who devote their own time and money to create amazing costumes and personas in support for the New Orleans Saints and our community. I’m excited and privileged to share their photos and stories with Saints fans of all ages.

The book was designed by Chris Henneman and stories were written by Angela Cave

A portion of all book sales will be donated to local fan charities.
