Many photographers have approached me about personal sessions and workshops. Meetup allows me to let you know about all the events I am giving, including workshops and free presentations. This group is about learning photography with master photographer Harold Davis. This group takes you to interesting places to photograph with Harold's unique perspective and guidance. About Harold: He is the author of more than ten best-selling photography books including "The Photoshop Darkroom" series from Fo …

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? If you are like many, you have wanted to join a Meetup group, but they are all geared for people who already understand photography. This group is for those who want to learn the basics. 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 …

We are a group open and welcoming to all, providing educational and collaboration opportunities for anyone interested in enhancing their vision. We all have easy access to great open educational resources and photographic tools (websites, digital cameras, smartphones, etc.). However our purpose is often fragmented. We will place our camera work within the context of a stronger understanding of contemporary art photography and media history. We'll shoot and critique using what we learn. Whether y …

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 …

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 …

So the idea is we go to good locations where we can bring our cameras and help to take pictures of each other, and if you are a person who just needs some photos of yourself, you are welcome to come to the photo shoots to get some photos of you and you don't have to bring a camera.

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 …

Meet other local people who are interested in walking or hiking for fitness and learning about San Francisco's history, including its movie history. This walking group is unique. It is primarily a health group with a dash of history talk for flavor. It is for people in average physical shape who need restroom stops and not for athletes or people with serious medical conditions. We keep our group together. We go …

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 …
