What we’re about
Founded by Eric Leuthardt in July 2022, the Chicago chapter of the Eric Leuthardt Photography Club was started with the primary focus on providing a forum for like-minded photographers to gather and learn from each other. The club includes a wide range of events such as location shoots, photography workshops, instructional classes (such as Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Strobism, as well as basic camera operations), and even social gatherings.
The main goal of all our events is for you to learn and improve your skills, network with other photographers and models, and leave with images that you will be proud to add to your portfolio.
