📸 Monthly Virtual Meetup: Education Series + Peer Critique

Join us for our monthly online session where we share ideas, learn together, and help each other grow as photographers. This 1-hour Zoom meeting is designed to keep our community inspired, connected, and continuously leveling up.

This is a brand new offering for this meetup group, so it will likely evolve and have iterative improvements over time. We are coming from a place of "let's start somewhere" and then we'll get feedback from the group and make changes based on that.

Each session will tentatively include:
• Demos and Instruction: Short walkthroughs of topics such as techniques, workflows, gear, or software. (Volunteers welcome!)
• Wins & Discoveries: A chance to share victories—big or small—as well as challenges that others might help with.
• Peer Critique Segment: A structured, supportive space to receive feedback on your work. (We’ll introduce a simple critique framework soon so everyone feels confident participating.)

This is a friendly, low-pressure environment. All skill levels are welcome, whether you’re brand new or have years of experience.
