What we’re about
Do you have an interest, or even a passion for photography? Would you enjoy photographing in a vibrant, urban environment, along with other friendly and engaging people who share your interest? Are you a beginner, intermediate, or expert/pro photographer? Then you belong with us!
Our mission is to photographically explore Boston and its environs. Our vision for our Members is to learn from someone who know more than you and teach someone who know less than you. There are so many extraordinary places to photograph in the Boston area… can't wait to shoot them with you!
Our group will have at least one free, fun photo event every month, and we will also offer premium workshops (i.e., those with a fee) as well as individual and small group instruction.
