Let’s start networking with the people who are in this business. Shooting photo, editing images and selling products online. Product photography could well be the single most important design aspect of any e-commerce website. Without the ability to touch, hold, smell, taste or otherwise handle the products they are interested in, potential customers have only images to interact with. Ultimately, the softer, tastier, flashier and more attractive your products look to shoppers, the more confident …

What's the difference between a snapshot, a commercial image and a Fine Art photograph? The answer, of course, is subjective and very much "in the eyes" (and minds) of the photographer and individuals viewing the work. This group will consider what makes photography rather unique among the Visual Arts. Light, composition, intent, and technique are a short list of topics we'll explore, both in the studio and on location. Take a look at our past and upcoming meetings and workshops, and consider jo …

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 …

I'm starting a group of people who are interested in learning more about digital photography, preferably with their DSLR camera. It's come to my attention that many people make that leap from a point-and-shoot to DSLR and yet and not sure how to utilize their new toy to it's fullest potential. I've been a semi-professional photographer of sports, portraits, and weddings for nearly four years and am an enthusiast of new techniques, new gear, and new subjects. Subjects can be people but can also …

For many, photography is a mystery. What is ISO, shutter speed and f-stop? How do I properly compose a shot? What is the rule of thirds?

Unlike most meetup groups, not only will we teach you photography, we'll help you grow. We've been putting on photography events since 1999. We currently do over 150 …
