NEW YORK, Oct. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Imagine living in a world without media - if you were born after the early 90's you probably can't.

"This project allows these incredibly talented individuals an opportunity to lend support the their fellow photogs while fostering the industry".
Five Tier championed the ASMP partnership program to give media photographers worldwide the opportunity to show their work by leveraging these iconic billboards
