Welcome to Bay Area Photo Cliques!

Your organizers, Thucelle Pham and I, started this meetup group to create unique opportunities for photographers, models and stylists to learn, network, and work together while improving skills and, of course, having fun and meeting people.

We work hard to bring you fantastic opportunities to work and shoot with shoot top artists and models in studios and other great locations at a fraction of what it would cost you to do it on your own. As an added bonus, we are both there to give instruction, add guidance and make sure that you're getting the most from each event. 

Thu and I are both very experienced working together and independently with artists and models on photo shoots, videos, web sites, and many other projects. Combined we have a large (and growing) network of contacts and resources including photographers, videographers, models, stylists, and locations. We are always looking to explore new ideas and we're inviting you to come along with us.

We understand that there are a lot of great photography groups out there (we belong to many of them!), but we're looking to shake things up a bit by offering unique experiences that the others don't. Our goal is to challenge ourselves while we challenge you to try new things and take your passion in a new direction.

Included among our current event plans are intimate workshops, fashion, artistic nude, erotic, and lingerie group shoots, live events, and networking and gallery parties, but we've only just begun. Whatever it is, we're dedicated to planning and providing a high quality experience that will leave you wanting more. 

We encourage hobbyists, novices, seasoned pros, and the curious to join and share your ideas and passion while meeting and learning from others.
