American Canyon Fine Art People Photography + Off Camera Lighting + Beer This Meetup is aimed at photographers of all skill levels that aspire to transcend the “craft” of portrait photography and want to push their work into the realm of Fine Art. What is Fine Art Photography? Fine art photographs are made primarily for aesthetics and concept rather than for a practical purpose. Department of Motor Vehicles driver’s licence photographs are a good example of a portrait done with a practical purpo …

This group is dedicated to photography at locations all over California but mainly Northern California. If you look at the "We're About" area to the left, you will find genres that don't seem to belong together in one group. Normally I would agree, but with Safari Shooting, you could be shooting great landscapes, waterfalls or nature one day and the next meetup could be Fashion at a Ghost Town in the middle of nowhere. The purpose of this group is not to be confined to one type of photgraphy an …

EXPOSED, our monthly critique and workshop series are designed to meet the needs of a diverse photographic community. We offer a wide range of instruction for the beginning photographer exploring the digital medium for the first time, and the professional looking to add to their “tool belt”.

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 group will also meet on a regular basis to discuss new ideas, loc …

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 …

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 …

I started this group to meet other women interested in portraiture (more geared toward editorial and commercial type) and lighting who want to get together to practice shooting, have fun, and provide a network of people with similar photographic interests who can help/learn from each other.

Meetups will be mainly …
