National Selfie Day Luray Caverns Post

 

It’s National Selfie Day, and Luray Caverns needed some content for social.

So to celebrate National Selfie Day Luray Caverns wanted to do a social post for it, and asked me to come up with a concept provide the photography service.  After thinking about it for a bit I figured it would look great if we had a group of people in the caverns taking a selfie in front of one of the largest formations in the cave.
