Uncovering unseen Encore photos

photography by BRIAN K. POWERS

The memorable year that has been 2022 has been reflected in the pages of Encore every month by photographer Brian K. Powers, who artfully captures our community and its people. But sometimes — actually, a lot of the time — Brian takes more beautiful images than we can possibly print in each issue. So, for the sixth year in a row, Encore presents its annual Revealed issue, where we share images that Encore staffers loved but that didn't make it into print until now. Think of it as Encore's holiday gift to you.
