See Differently, Think Differently

This first meetup is all about connection, conversation, and setting the foundation for what The Image Photography Club will become.
Whether you’re new to photography, rediscovering it, or have years behind the camera, this is a relaxed, welcoming space to meet other photographers, share perspectives, and talk about why we shoot—not just what we shoot.
This first gathering is intentionally light and informal. Think of it as a test run—a chance to meet one another, feel the energy of the group, and shape future meetups together.

✨ What to Expect

• A friendly meet & greet with fellow photography enthusiasts
• Open conversation about photography, creativity, and visual storytelling
• Light discussion on what makes a strong image (no lectures, no pressure)
• A chance to share ideas and hear what others are interested in learning
• An opportunity to help shape future topics like:
• Photography philosophy
• The psychology of photographing people
• The business of photography
• Portfolios, websites, niches, and branding

No critiques, no formal presentations—just thoughtful conversation and community.

🗓️ Loose Agenda
• Arrival & Introductions
Get settled, meet a few people, and ease into the space.
