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'm starting a group of people who are interested in learning more about digital photography, preferably with their DSLR camera.

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 …

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 …
