 ...IF YOU HAVE A MORE SERIOUS INTEREST IN PHOTOGRAPHY…

 

Nothing is more flattering than being emulated by our peers. It says that we are the leading Meetup Group in what we do. We create and offer membership benefits and activities that are wanted by photographers.  "The Art of Seeing" is innovative and progressive. Our goal is to offer programs and activities that guide members toward achieving heights they want to reach – be they at the hobby level or to help them become professionals.

"The Art of Seeing" –  We originated and are the FIRST to offer: Monthly Internal Group Library Meetings, Photographer Presentation Sessions, Portrait of An Artist Profiles, Monthly Member Training Presentations, Monthly Newsletter, Master of Photography Videos, Extended Quarterly / Annual Field Trips, Tutored Field Workshops, Mentorship Programs, Professional Critiques, Exhibition Venues, Commercialization Opportunities and Corporate Sponsorship Benefits for its members. We are the photography group that sets the standards for services and activities offered...!

Why join Christoph - The Art of Seeing...? Whether you are just staring out, or you are ready to take your photography to a higher level, check us out,  Click Here .

View our Photo Albums. See the quality of our members' images, at various levels, and the pride they take in producing them...!

We welcome everyone who wants to join us.

We are a non-competitive group for beginning through advanced photography artisans, operating within a nurturing, mentoring and educational environment. This group is about photography and photographers and the unlimited possibilities of creating art that reaches the soul – a place for all to create and present their works.

So, if you come on board, thank you for joining "Christoph – The Art of Seeing.”

If you are an advanced photographer (amateur or professional) we invite you to be a volunteer guest speaker and field trip leader.

Membership, and monthly Meetup Field Outings are free. We also offer Tutored, Fee Based Workshops by accomplished photographers. Join us for the fun and adventure.

A small note: If you are joining to gain exposure for your business or modeling gigs vs. advancing your photography, this site is probably not for you. Many Meetup Groups aimed toward those venues are available and will be much more effective for you. On the other hand, if you are an aspiring or experienced photographer, you might just become the next Ansel Adams…So welcome aboard…!
