This group was inspired by the hundreds of workshops I have given all over the US. Photographers were asking for ways to build their portfolios with high quality images and unique concepts. They were running out of ideas / did not have ideas, could not find models, locations or sets and were hitting a wall. After all a photography web-site filled with photos of your dog or your own children might not say "professional" in a way you want it to. This is what we will do here. The instructors will a …

This is a group for photographers of all levels to explore and shoot these interesting and picturesque locations.

Often we hold meetups with multiple locations with a mix of both. If …

We shoot only top quality Models for our Projects and over the years we have meet photogs that have asked us how do we capture such great images and I would laugh and say "with a great budget" Rite... And unfortunately it was the truth in order to capture great images you need great models and staff to enhance them then combined with a great location and artist and creative jucies it happens... We love photography and all it has given us and we would like to give back.. And the best way was to f …

Studio photography I believe is frequently overlooked, underrated, and misunderstood by many photographers.

Sharing practical setups and artistic composition ideas is what Fine Art/Glam Foto Shooters is all about. This meetup group welcomes photographers of many levels but there is a camera requirement. Yours must have a hot shoe capable of tripping studio ligh …

Models have been asking how-to find a photographer, or how-to take direction from a photographer. Both Photographers and Models are asking about Make-up styles, set design …
