This a group for photographers who explore urban areas seeking a particular aesthetic.

Richmond) a …

The purpose of this group is not to be confined to one type of photgraphy an …

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 …
